How are you selected your various packages?  Do you have a kickstart 
file will your list of packages and groups?  Or are you manually 
selecting packages at the graphical screen where you can select them?

We already have some predone kickstarts for several cases.  (Minimal, 
Everything, what TUV has on their DVD's, groups).  I recommend using a 
kickstart if you want to be able to reproduce your iso.

But, I do understand, that if you are creating an install CD/DVD, you 
would think that revisor would automatically pick anaconda, or even make 
it so that you have to have anaconda.  Otherwise you would never have an 
install CD/DVD, only a bunch of packages.

Anyway, how are you selecting your packages?  It makes it easier for me 
to know if it's fixed or not if I am able to follow the steps you took.
