not installing specific packages

Hi!
I'm building an ignite-server, so I can install servers wit my custom configuration from the network automatically.
I want that the installation will not include specific products. (I can "swremove" the product at the post-install scripts, but thats ugly)

This packages is part of the original hpu11.11 cd.

How can i do this?

Re: not installing specific packages

not exactly...
I have a standard configuration for *ALL* servers.
This configuration MUST not include specific products from the main installation cds.

(if you want to be more specific, then these packages are:
SourceControl (AKA. HP's RCS)
and
Perl5.6.1
)

I want that they won't be installed at all.

Re: not installing specific packages

Is not possible to create INDEX file ? ( attached) and narrow down the requirment.
In cfg file specify the s/w requiremnt point to the depot, in this case you have to create different depot for each server,
