You can modify the Fedora/base/comps.xml file in the local FC5
repository you are using. Fedora 5 has a new format for that file, so
you probably can't simply paste in the stuff you want from your Extras
comps.xml file. 

You should create groups of Extras packages in comps.xml, then bring
them together into a category. That will cause them to show up in the
custom packages part of the anaconda GUI. A group doesn't show up in the
GUI unless you add it to a category. However, I think you can still
request the group from a kickstart file.

I hope that helps.
