hi all, I have an issue where I must not have selected X at install time as its not there. I dont have networking on this box. I can put the DVD back in unit but I dont have X to run and to software add/remove. How do I do this from the command line with no network so no yum install package. so mount the DVD, cd into the RPMS directory then what command do I run to install all packages for X from the current directory. Thanks, jerry

Disable all other repos, enable that and do a "yum grouplist". You'll see what group you have to install. Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am still missing something. Thanks, Jerry
