Actually SUNWcsd, SUNWcs, slim_install and entire is the default list of packages that get installed if none is specified in the AI manifest. This and other default values get picked up from ai_manifest.defval.xml by the XML defaults validator that auto-install uses. We do, however, need to work on what constitues a base set of packages since what we do currently is to merely slam the same set of packages as the LiveCD. Alok
