CentOS - May 2006 - Installing a package group after the initial install

I recently installed a system using the CentOS 4.3 CDs which is now  
up and running.  Everything is running fine, but I forgot to install  
one of the "package groups" that Anaconda offers as an option.  Is  
there a way to install this group on a running system using the data  
on the CDs (i.e., not via a repository)?  If not, is there a way to  
get the list of RPMs that belong to a package group?  If I had that  
information, I could install the RPMs manually.

Thanks,
Alfred

Hi -

Investigate 'yum grouplist'.

'man yum' has some pretty detailed options for managing groups.

Thanks!

if you have a graphical desktop you can use Add/remove software in the
system menu

This option is only 'good' if you have the install cds and have not
updated software yet. This software doesn't handle updated packages or
networked installs properly and will cause a decrease in sanity if
actual functionality is expected.
