Fedora supports yum, so just use yum to install all the RPMs to your image.  
Figure out the exact command to have yum install everything, and tag on 
--installroot /var/lib/systemimager/images/<image_name> - this will then get 
yum to install all the RPMs to the image, and when you deploy it, the node will 
come up with everything installed.
 
Of course, that's going to take a while to download :-)
 
In OSCAR 5.0 it will be much simplier, you would just have the following in the 
rpmlist to build the image:
 
@ Everything
 
And then it'll just install everything into the image.
 
But I don't think this currently works yet, we'll see if we can get the 
functionality finalized before 5.0 is released.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

If you mean you want all the FC3 rpms installed on the client nodes
you can either make a very long rpm list instead of using the default
one, or you can use the tools included with Systemimager to make an
image off a full install instead of using the one automatically
generated by OSCAR.

If you're feeling patient and adventuresome, oscar 5.0 (which is still
very much a work in progress) has some features which might make this
sort of thing easier, though I am not certain anyone has tested them
much yet.

This is a bit outside the "supported" use of OSCAR, but I'll see if I
can find some time to help you out.  I have always meant to try doing
something like this.

You probably should start off with a stock oscar install first to get
the hang of things anyway before you try something "outside the box".
