Oops.

No, not off the top of my head.

But if you have a look through the file RedHat/base/comps on your RedHat
CDROM you'll see a listing of the install packages grouped into sections.
Browsing through that will give you a good idea of what you'll need.

But a warning... the order of installing the packages you need might
become an issue, so take a note of the order of dependencies to figure out
hwo to put them in cleanly.  I suspect that the netkit-base package might
need to be the first one to put in.

Otherwise, try a re-install but specify an upgrade, then choose to select
individual packages (otherwise you might find that *everything* gets
installed).

Good luck.

Cheers
Tony
