True.

For reference: to people who are installing lots of machines,
once you have got a list of packages you want (and the dependencies!)
you can create your own package lists.
And use them in e.g.  kickstart.

For instance, we create our own package lists - CERN Base, Network
Server,  etc. and you choose which set to install in the Kickstart file.

Also you could consider other install suites like Oscar.
