Trying to figure out how to set up a kickstart %packages section for SL7.

If I put in a group to be installed that includes a package I don't want 
to install what's the proper way to set that up?

My tests so far haven't revealed a good solution.  It seems like if I 
specify a group, but them exclude a package that is in that group the 
whole group gets excluded.

For instance, I want @gnome-desktop-environment to be installed it will 
pull in the @internet-browser group which includes firefox.  I don't 
want the firefox package to be installed.  I added "-firefox" so it 
would be excluded but the test I did seemed to have excluded 
@gnome-desktop-environment.

How do I get the desktop without the firefox package.  I suppose I could 
figure out all the different packages I want and include them by package 
name instead of the group but that seems like a lot of extra work in the 
kickstart.
