Dare I ask why numactl is on there then :-) Its not like a person
installing a numactl system wouldn't know how to install a package and
its fairly distant from your mainstream.
@core and @base is shared between the regular dvd images and live images
and sometimes these niche packages sneak it. I made a bunch of changes
in the live base ks file for future builds to save some space. If folks
find anything amiss, let me know.
