Sorry to double post, but this is important :)

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/yum/sn-software-management-tools.html

The above link discusses the "Add/Remove Packages" software (known as
system-config-packages).  That package is included so that if you are
doing an install off off the ISOs and will NOT EVER be updating the
install (not a good idea if it is connected to the internet), then you
can use system-config-packages to install more software.

Here is the note:

The system-config-packages utility can ONLY be used if you do not update
any packages and install only from the CD/DVD. This utility will fail if
updates have been done.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
