yes.
just sepcify the package names (no versions!) like so...
%packages --resolvedeps
@ Postgresql
postgresql-pl
php-lsqp
and so on...
you are also supposed to be able to prevent certain packages from a
group installing by prefixing the names with a minus sign, e.g.
@ mail-server
@ web-server
- - sendmail
postfix
- - squirrelmail
although I haven't attempted this myself. Also, if the packages you
attempt to disable are required as dependencies of something else,
they'll get installed anyway, IIRC.
