I suppose it's case insensitive, since "base" and "core" are in minuscule. Perhaps we should keep it consistent.

isn't it installed by default?

Perhaps we could have a desktop choice somewhere? -> for later?

I copy&pasted these from the example ks.cfg file at the bottom of this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart

All I know is that w/o this change, X and GNOME are not instaled.

Express install should just choose the best default settings for an OS and these IMHO are those settings. :) User can always choose to go w/o custom install if he/she wishes to configure more than what we allow.

Apparently, it's case insensitive. Can we keep it consistent, it's easier to have it all in lowercase.
