You would have to modify the comps xml file to list the packages you
wish installed and set them to manditory or default.  The graphical
package selection is generated via this file which lists the various
categories, groups, and packages within the groups.

This I'm not familiar with, I haven't tried doing it with pungi.  I'd
have to look a bit deeper into it.
