Our recommended solution to that is to store your additional RPMs in an
i-bay, and re-install from there (scripted in ks.cfg if you wish).
Restoring a system is usually a good opportunity to get rid of cobwebs and
leftover guff, so I'd rather just restore use data, and re-install system
software. YMMV.
