I am setting up CentOS-4.1 so I can install it via PXE Boot. I have everything working except the only packages available for selection is the Minimal set. The other groups are grayed out and can't be selected.
Any ideas?
I have also discovered that anaconda does not follow http redirects which is a bit annoying.

You could do the minimal install and use yum groupinstall for the rest. A local repo can be most useful in these cases. Another option would be to look at doing yum installs, this is well worth the effort.

And you can check the install files here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jnewbigin/centos/centos-4/i386/centos-4.1
The files were copied from CDs 1-4.
I use this same setup for CentOS-3 and it works as expected.
