Wouldn't it be a good stratigy to modify the comps.xml file in a way to split up the basic-package group into two. Resulting in a real-basic-group and a e.g. distro-basic group. This way anaconda can install the real basic package selection for you.
Don't know how to do this, but yes... that concept is precisely what I had in mind as an end result. When we are ready to create that, we'll see if we can get someone to help us do it or figure out how.
