<base_dir>/RedHat/base/hdlist
which is generated by running
<base_dir>/misc/src/anaconda/utils/genhdlist <base_dir>
genhdlist expects a <base_dir>/RedHat/RPMS directory, and
generates the genhdlist by grabbing info out of rpm header.

The comps file describes groups of packages. You can control how
the base system is installed i.e. I take out sendmail and linux conf,
and
add some of my own packages to the base, or you can change any
of the other standard groupings to your liking.
You can also add your own groups of packages that can be used
in kickstart files:
0 LDAP {
openldap
nss_ldap
nscd
}
and referenced it in your kickstart %packages section like so:
%packages
...
@ LDAP

The hdlist that in the directory isn't in sync with with RedHat/RPMS
directory. No biggie, just run genhdlist.
