# yum groupinfo Virtualization
i get a short list of packages categorized as "Mandatory", "Default"
and "Optional". i'm guessing that the first means absolutely
required, the second means default selected but de-selectable, and the
third, well, not selected but selectable. the questions:
1) what are the options i used to configure what packages i want?
man yum.conf look for group_package_types:
group_package_types
List of the following: optional, default, mandatory. Tells yum
which type of packages in groups will be installed when
ʼgroupinstallʼ is called. Default is: default, mandatory
2) for a given group, is there a way to show the *total* set of
packages that would be installed after all the dependencies were
included as well?
Run echo 'n' | yum groupinstall groupname
that'll show you. However, which pkgs will be installed will be dependent
on which pkgs are already installed.
