Bug 338771

Nope, this is not intentional at all.  What are you doing to determine that the
Base group is no longer being installed?

Used the following kickstart packages and the resulting system did not have
ypbind installed which is part of Base.

nfs --server=saga --dir=/export/data1/fedora/development/i386/os --opts=tcp
repo --name=CoRA --baseurl=http://sw.cora.nwra.com/fedora/CoRPMS/fcdevelopment/i386/
repo --name=livna --baseurl=http://sw.cora.nwra.com/fedora/livna/development/i386/

Just finished a fresh install of f9 with this ks file.  ypbind was present.  If
you see that there is more evidence to show that base is not turned on by
default, please reopen this bug.
