Do you @redhat.com guys ever had to handle Visa 3DSecure or PCI:DSS
audit programs? I do, at my line of work.

The definition of "base" installs is far more permissive than it should,
and it hasn't really improved.

Far more... my kickstarts specify base and many dozens of -foo package
*unselections*.

I can provide you with one such kickstart (minus ip addresses and some
portions of the post-install scripts) if you want, and there's still
some work to do post-boot that I've been too lazy (in the bad sense) to
find a generic form to include in the kickstart template.
