Interesting, but it seems to _only_ show groups that weren't included
in the anaconda install. For example where the saved anaconda-ks-cfg
shows @gnome-desktop and @development, 'yum grouplist' only shows
'MATE Desktop' which was installed later.
What I am looking for is a succinct way to duplicate the full
installed package list that exists on an organically-developed
developed system (that is, where people added things until it all
worked), so equivalent systems can be created by a minimal install
followed by a scripted
yum install 'big list of stuff'.
