+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?
