If you install one environment group (list of groups) then you can install all optional packages from groups (with `with-optional`) it contains or none optional. You can do `dnf group info <env>` as you already did and install mandatory groups `dnf group install <env>` + for each optional group: `dnf group install <opt_grp>`. > The help for group install in the man pages and > http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html shows the > 'with-optional' phrase: > > dnf [options] group install [with-optional] <group-spec>... > > So, the optional groups pretty much include everything except the > kitchen sink, and I wonder if I can avoid installing a couple of > languages and two databases I don't need, or if I should just skip the > group install as an installation technique> Packages that are optional and installed along with `with-optional` switch could be skipped if they get into conflict with other packages. This feature is in DNF for ~year. You can go with just mandatory packages and then install the rest when you need them.
