FYI, re: firewalld & minimal install.

firewalld isn't in the minimal comps groups. However, it's pulled in
by anaconda, see pyanaconda/install.py:

    # anaconda requires storage packages in order to make sure the target
    # system is bootable and configurable, and some other packages in order
    # to finish setting up the system.
    packages = storage.packages + ["authconfig", "firewalld"]
