Re: system-config-packages - everything group

	I agree. Unfortunately, my company does not. They are asking for a tool that 
will automagically make a Fedora Core 2 box upgraded from Redhat 9 look just

system-config-packages, or write something from scratch if there is a way to 
do this with existing tools.
