Based on the dependencies of each package.  It installs comps first  
because comps contains dependency information for the rest of the  
packages, then it determines what order to install based on that  
dependency information, so if package 'bar' requires package 'foo' be  
installed, then foo will be installed before bar, regardless of what  
order they are in in your ks.cfg.
