I've looked into it, and it looks promissing. A "yum grouplist" gives me:
Installed Groups:
Administration Tools
Authoring and Publishing
Compatibility Arch Support
DNS Name Server
Editors
FTP Server
GNOME Desktop Environment
Graphical Internet
Graphics
KDE (K Desktop Environment)
Legacy Network Server
Mail Server
MySQL Database
Network Servers
Office/Productivity
Printing Support
Server Configuration Tools
Sound and Video
System Tools
Text-based Internet
Web Server
Windows File Server
X Software Development
X Window System
XFCE
x86 Compatibility Arch Development Support
Available Groups:
Compatibility Arch Development Support
Development Tools
Engineering and Scientific
GNOME Software Development
Games and Entertainment
KDE Software Development
Legacy Software Development
News Server
PostgreSQL Database
XFCE Software Development
Done
Now, I have two questions:
-- how does Anaconda know to further split these groups
in the different categories.
-- how does it know what are the mandatory groups/pacakges
that need to be installed.
TIA,
Dimi.
