Is there a quick way to include all available packages in the ks.cfg?
During the gui interactive installation of RHEL 4.6 WS, you can choose
the 'Everything' option. How would I do this in the ks.cfg?
Not a trivial one. RHEL gave up on doing an actual "minimal" install, or an actual "full" install, and seems to choose options well in-between them.
Also, some of them conflict. The openssl and glibc, for example, have both i386 and i686 versions, both of which *CANNOT* be safely installed. But you could pre-generate a list of all the packages you want, with this in mind, and try manually writing a kickstart file that lists them all.
But if you're going to do that, use CentOS. The RedHat kickstart configuration tools is badly broken and has been for *years* in terms of configuring package installation, and you only get such package management if you spring for the RHN licenses and run a local RedHat Netwrork Satellite server.
