I used these 2 sites to help me. It did take quite a bit of trial and error
to get it right.
Do not forget to edit comps.xml to take out the packages that you do not
want and add your new packages. (Why CentOS installs bluetooth packages by
default is well beyond me...)
Hope this helps

think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate
electricity. And if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair
that's hooked up to the generator.
