So, I am not sure what the OP is asking for. But from the kickstart
file(s), you can get the list of the rpms in an iso from:
https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/tree/f37
Then you can use:
dnf repoquery -l rpm-name
and get the list of the files in each rpm.
This is a large number of rpms, and even larger number of files to go
through.
Best wishes,

Thanks for that. Quite a complex setup, tho not surprising.
What I wanted to be able to do is this. I 've downloaded the fedora 37
iso. I wan to know if it has gparted. How can I answer that without
writing it to a thumb drive and booting?
