But if your only doing a text based nfs /cd install then no icons are
required so this should work for a specific way of doing things, correct ?

i.e.

 0 --hide my server {
     my-apache.rpm
     my-dhcp.rpm
 }

yours a.r.b.u.

it's not quite that simple, since you have the option of putting
a cute graphic next to that software component, and this is where,
i believe, you get into wanting to run "buildinstall" to add a
new pixmap to the pixmap directory where python can find it once
the loader starts to run.

it may be that the default is just to have a blank graphic, but
you can see that just adding a new software component adds a
new level of complexity.
