[CentOS] packages in "base" that are not in "nobase"

Not sure if I understand want you mean, but...

You can do a nobase install, list all installed packages (rpm -qa), and 
save this to a file. Then install the base, en list all installed 
packages again. Export again to a file en diff those two files...

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Bart
