Packages show up in the package selection area based on entries in the comps file. The comps file for the installer is created on the fly by pungi, but merging together the comps metadata out of all the yum repos used to create the spin. I've done some fairly extensive package selection changes myself by simply putting the comps file I wanted into a private yum repo w/my custom packages. Not sure if its particularly well documented anywhere, but its definitely doable. Google around for MythDora (version 5) to see an example of a modified F8 installer. -- Jarod Wilson jwilson(a)redhat.com
