Switching the list to centos as requested.

This does not appear to be true. If it was I would not have posted at all
or maybe I am just confused.

For example, in anaconda there is an install group called "Minimal Desktop"
If I look in the comps.xml in the centos repo there is no such group.
There is also a Minimal group that does not appear in comps.

All I am trying to do is understand the relationship between the groups
listed in anaconda and in comps.xml.

Does anaconda use a different comps.xml?
