Description Seth Vidal 2001-05-30 14:39:37 UTC
kickstart needs to have the ability to negatively select packages or
package groups.

so something like:
%packages
@ Workstation Common
-@ Emacs

or something like:

%packages
@ Web Server
- tux

that would mean fewer pkg cleanups in %post

thanks

katzj was looking at this.

Done for packages in CVS.  Not going to happen for groups because the chances of
causing major problems by excluding a group is much greater.
