List of install packages for kickstart

Hi,
is there an easy way/list of what packages can go in the %packages
section of ks.cfg?
Specifically I would like to convert an image of an existing machine
using maybe something like rpm -qa to replicate all the rpm's on that
machine into a list of packages that get installed when i kickstart?

Thank you.

Affan.

rpm -qa --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n" | sort > install.txt

If you need the rpm extension then add it;
rpm -qa --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" | sort > install.txt
