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.
