I've spent a little time looking at the hardware side of things and
done a basic patch for some of the hardware stuff based on the current
rawhide comps file. I've broken it down into network/server/misc for
the time being and pushed the print stuff over to its group. More can
be done as it was a quick look through. The old hardware-support
currently includes all the other groups so there's no real change for
current builds overall.

I also noticed that alot of the filesystems group lists are replicated
into base. I think base should have the core ext related tools to boot
a default Fedora and the other stuff like ntfs should just remain in
the filesystems group.

Cheers,
Peter
