Can't find it.
It's not installed.
So where is it hiding?
yum install system-config-kickstart
got it thanks.
Now how do I figure out the packages and applications?
Something about the base/comps.xml ?
And once I find that on the CD, how to read/interpret it?

You might do a $ yum grouplist To see what groups are available and have a look at /root/anaconda-ks.cfg on a pretty much loaded system. Then there's the help file at file:///usr/share/doc/system-config-kickstart-2.5.16.1/system-config-kickstart-basic.html
which is in the RPM you just installed.
Good luck!

Did not help me much at all.
Where IS this .xml file in the Centos directories? I do have a local share.
Good luck!

Finding the file is no big deal: [rj@mavis ~]$ locate comps.xml /usr/share/comps/i386/comps.xml [rj@mavis ~]$
Attempting to second-guess the question and establish some context is a whole 'nother matter. I thought that all you wanted to do is create a kickstart file. Is that incorrect?
Good luck!

Oh, you have a computer called mavis too? :)

I want to build a kickstart file. To do that, I want to know what there is to kickstart in. So I need to learn a bit about the groups and the apps in the groups. All I have done so far has been to do an interactive install, or use an anaconda-ks.cfg file with some mods. And then the anaconda-ks.cfg afterwards did not list the same packages!
Good luck!
