I'm currently trying to create a custom distro with pungi. More precisely, I've been using rpm -qa --qf="%{n}\n" to create a list of packages currently installed on my system, added the needed repos (rpmfusion-free, rpmfusion-free-updates and adobe-linux-i386) and built a kickstart file out of this. Now I have some questions, and it's pretty hard to find any documentation about that, so I thought I'd just ask on this list.

1.)How can I specify which packages should be installed by default? The packages in my kickstart file get added, but don't get installed by default. I figured out that it had something to do with some xml files, but what exactly do I have to do to, for example, install all packages from the kickstart file by default? I'm not so comfortable with anaconda and repo files, so please mention file locations if I have to edit some files.

You would have to modify the comps xml file to list the packages you wish installed and set them to manditory or default. The graphical package selection is generated via this file which lists the various categories, groups, and packages within the groups.

2.)How can I replace fedora-logos, fedora-release and fedora-release-notes with generic-logos, generic-release and generic-release-notes? I tried to exclude them from repos in the kickstart file and excluding them from the package manifest, however it didn't work.

This I'm not familiar with, I haven't tried doing it with pungi. I'd have to look a bit deeper into it.
