Yes, but I thought of duplicates like the following:

Gnome_packages:ghostscript-7.07-25.i386.rpm
print_packages:ghostscript-7.07-25.i386.rpm

They are in different types of packages and is not obvious which
one to skip, if at all.

The following does not make sense, as the base_packages are installed
in any case:

base_packages:fedora-logos-1.1.24-1.noarch.rpm
Gnome_packages:fedora-logos-1.1.24-1.noarch.rpm

base_packages:cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.18-2.i386.rpm
network_packages:cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.18-2.i386.rpm


I think, there should be installed only a minimal set of packages to
get a working system.  Adding packages is easy with rpm (- if you know
how it's done; - if there is enough space, - if you need them at all;
- ...).
