I am setting up CentOS-4.1 so I can install it via PXE Boot. I have everything working except the only packages available for selection is the Minimal set. The other groups are grayed out and can't be selected. Any ideas? I have also discovered that anaconda does not follow http redirects which is a bit annoying.

A local repo can be most useful in these cases. Another option would be to look at doing yum installs, this is well worth the effort. Regards, Ted
