Specifying packages

I'm using Kickstart to image FC5 desktops (mostly Dell D610's) and
there's something I'm not clear on.

If you're explicitly calling out packages like "sendmail-cf", does it
matter where they appear?

Do they have to be immediately after the name of the package group,
like "@base-x" or "@system-tools"?  How do you know which group
a package belongs to?  What if it doesn't belong to any group?

And if you get the group wrong, it doesn't seem to be this is logged
in any sort of informative way... it simply doesn't get included.

Or am I missing something major?

Thanks,

-Philip
