# The following lists the RPMs that will be installed by the system.
# The @ lines are sort-of macros which are defined in the
# RedHat/base/comps file on the cdrom.  I've added nc and zsh at the
# end because I wanted them and they weren't in any of the @ lines.
# 
# An alternative to this list would be to list the specific RPMs to
# install although that might get big.  You will need to check this
# list carefully since we are going to pair down the RPMs so they fill
# on one CD.

# The following commands are executed at the end of the installation
# process by /bin/sh while you are chrooted into the new system.  This
# allows you to add user accounts, turn on or off autobooted software,
# etc..

# Note that at the end of the script I have an example of how to get
# input from the user.  I'd like to hear if anyone has better ways of
# doing this.  My way basically uses the 3rd virtual terminal to both
# echo to and read from.  It works.
