i looked once more, after the choose packages step:

these are the categories selected:

CAT_MINIMAL_DOCS
CAT_SYSTEM
CHARSET"C"
LOCALES"en"
LOCALES"_"
LOCALES"en_US"
META_CLASS"download"
TRUE
USB
UTF8

this should be:
man info man-pages eject ldetect harddrake sharutils locales iputils urpmi 
tmpwatch dmidecode ntfs-3g pm-utils numlock lftp mageia-release-Default


these should result in a selection of 235 packages (i tried to track these 
manually through the rpmsrate file

however, somehow other packages seem to be getting extra installed anyway 
(during the choosePackages step)!

first package being selected is:

- lib64drm_radeon1 ... even in rpmsrate radeon-firmware (the closest thing i 
can imagine), needs CAT_X ....

next:
- lib64pam0
- bootsplash

am i missing something, i have the feeling there's another file that has effect 
to these stuff?
