1. Is it possible though some ks syntax to exclude a default package group from my kickstart config ? i.e. -@ PackageGroup ? If this were possible I may be able to try -@base and -@dialup leaving only @core.
Theoretically, it is possible not to install Base group. You would do something like this:
%packages --no-base
In reality, it doesn't work. Base with all junk that it will pull gets installed anyhow. See bug 139364 for more details:
