"You can use a kickstart file to install every available package by
  specifying * in the %packages section. Red Hat does not support this type
  of installation.
  In previous releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, this functionality was
  provided by @Everything, but this is not included in Red Hat Enterprise
  Linux 6."
