The rpmlist is a flat file in /opt/oscar/oscarsamples. If you want to add rpms, just add them there. You can make new files there as well, I believe the entire directory is read. Prerequisites are picked up, so you can add a few rpms you know you want and it should pick up the rest. In theory anyway.
