The simplest way is to take one from an existing installation, found in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, and modify it as needed.

Alternatively, you can use the kickstart configurator - system-config-kickstart - to modify it, or to create a new one.

show-installed [options] DESCRIPTION
show-installed gives a compact description of the packages installed (or given) making use of the comps groups found in the repositories. OPTIONS
-h, --help show this help message and exit -f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT yum, kickstart or human; yum gives the result as a yum command line; kickstart the content of a %packages section; "human" readable is default. -i INPUT, --input=INPUT File to read the package list from instead of using the rpmdb. - for stdin. The file must contain package names only separated by white space (including newlines). rpm -qa --qf='%{name} ' produces proper output. -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT File to write the result to. Stdout is used if option is omitted. -q, --quiet Do not show warnings. -e, --no-excludes Only show groups that are installed completely. Do not use exclude lines. --global-excludes Print exclude lines at the end and not after the groups requiring them. --global-addons Print package names at the end and not after the groups offering them as addon. --addons-by-group Also show groups not selected to sort packages contained by them. Those groups are commented out with a "# " at the begin of the line. -m, --allow-mandatories Check if just installing the mandatory packages gives better results. Uses "." to mark those groups. -a, --allow-all Check if installing all packages in the groups gives better results. Uses "*" to mark those groups. --ignore-missing Ignore packages missing in the repos. --ignore-missing-excludes Do not produce exclude lines for packages not in the repository.
