This is due to the versioning of the comps package. RHL9's version is 9.0;
Fedora Core 0.94 has a comps version of 0.94. So rpm -Uvh --oldpackage comps
(it is on disc 1, IIRC) and it at least shows the right packages. However,
redhat-config-packages still won't work right for me; I insert disc 1 like it
wants and it doesn't recognize it as disc 1. Although redhat-config-packages
appears to still be a work-in-progress: no preferences are working, sources
is hardwired at ALL, etc.
