Minimal system created with Pungi

[Martin Steinmann]

I am trying to create a minimal system of F8 rawhide with pungi, where
anaconda runs in graphics mode (with the X server) during installation,
but the installed system does not have an X server.

I am using a pungi config file like the one below. It turns out that the
packages for the X server have to be included so that they can be used
during stage2 of the install. However, they also end up in the RPM
repository on the CD. Is there a way to avoid this?

There isn't a good way of avoiding this with the current pungi
codebase.  What would be needed is separation of the packages used to
compose vs the packages /in/ the compose.

A work around would be to do one compose with the graphical packages, a
second compose without the graphical packages and just swap the
repodata and Packages/ directories.
