Hi, I'd like to run CentOS 7 in a KVM guest (host is my Slackware64 14.1 workstation). The main purpose of this installation will be to build custom RPM packages. I've made a few tests, and everything works more or less as expected. I'd like to resolve a small problem that's nagging me though. When I install a GUI, I usually start by installing a minimal system, then I add some

Now that the basic server is up and running.? With Gnome via VNC (yuck), it is time to go back and figure out howto install Xfce without an Xfce group script.? So I am asking those with X64 Centos for some pointers.? Like where are the group scripts so maybe I can modify them for armhfp. I was reading: https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-install-xfce-gui-in-centos-7-linux/ Where the author

Hi, Until last week, I could install a CentOS 7 based desktop using the following approach: 1. Install minimal system. 2. yum groupinstall "X Window System" 3. yum install gdm gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal liberation-fonts 4. Install applications as needed. This morning, the package group "X Window System" seems to have disappeared. This is embarrassing. What

Nicolas, Thank you!? But I am Dyslexic and very mono-linguistic; at least I could read the actual commands, if not all the wonderful comments...

Hi, Is there a difference between 'yum groupinstall' and 'yum group install'? As far as I can tell, # yum groupinstall "X Window System" and # yum group install "X Window System" get me the same result. Just curious.

Hi, I wonder if there's an easy way to strip down an installation to the bare minimum, e. g. the packages you get when you select "minimum installation". In Slackware, the bone-headed package manager slackpkg has a few nice options, among which 'slackpkg clean-system', which removes all third-party packages in one single operation, or 'slackpkg remove

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 with Xfce on my main workstation. I just installed VirtualBox, and the application is running nicely. The only problem is that VirtualBox fonts are too tiny. How can I make the application behave and use the system-wide font settings ? Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730 Montpezat Site :

I would like to install xfce from the "extras" repo - but when I run: yum groupinstall XFCE-4.4 I get: Warning: Group XFCE-4.4 does not exist. Also 'yum grouplist' appears to only show the base groups ... Is there anything else I have to do to install xfce? Thanks James Pearson
