[Clip] clip.ks and setools package

[Ted Toth]

Thanks I'll try this. I'm also having a problem when I do an install
using the clip iso where it complains that there is no base group have
you seen this issue? I looked at the comps.xml in the iso but it isn't
text (XML) it looks like binary data.

About 90% of the packages that are being explicitly removed are not installed in the first place.  This is due to the fact that the package groups are commented out (the sections with the @).  Because the groups are not installed, it is not necessary to explicitly remove these packages.  I imagine these were just left behind in case someone wanted to enable a packages (e.g. base-x) and needed to know which ones from that group need to be removed.
