I want to install Xfce desktop on a ClearOS system. They do not provide a group for any of the desktops. So all I need is a list of rpms that create the desktop and let yum do its job from there. Of course, I need to read the manpage to figure out how to provide the rpms from a file that I got from the group info output....
Can some one that has a Centos7-x64 system please send me the output of: yum group info Xfce My Centos7-armv7 does not have an Xfce group, only Gnome and KDE. And all else I have here are Fedora 25-x64 laptops. I want to see what Centos7 considers to be in the Xcfe desktop. thanks On 05/24/2017 10:07 AM, Robert Moskowitz wrote:> > > On 05/24/2017 12:03 AM, John R Pierce wrote: >> On 5/23/2017 3:52 PM, Robert Moskowitz wrote: >>> I want to install Xfce on a ClearOS server.
