Hidden groups behave just the same as non-hidden, except that they don't get displayed in the default output. To list all known groups, uservisible or not, you can use 'yum grouplist hidden' AFAIK there is currently no way to tell yum to install optional packages from groups, other than by looking then up with yum groupinfo <group> or repoquery and installing those. Eg yum install `repoquery --grouppkgs=optional --group -l base` ..to install optional packages from group 'base' - Panu -
