Yes, the comps file is intended to be edited with a text editor.  See
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/anaconda-installer/comps.html for a
write up about the FC4 and earlier comps file.  There's also a fair bit
of information under http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda  For FC5,
some things have changed and I need to write them up, but actually
making things work for FC5 is currently higher priority. :-)
