Just so you know, I don't think that was such a good idea.  Often times
you want to install a box and be very very selective about what rpms are 
installed.  Combine that with the autokickstart generation, and the 
feature that was removed was a very cool thing.  On the other hand,
I completely understand the need to make things simpler, I am just not 
sure that was the best choice.

Just my 2cents...james
