Group install is when you install a full suite of software together. If you use normal "Yum install" it will usually only install one software at a time. Take a look at this page, maybe it can help you. http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=package-management

Subject: CentOS 6 yum Groupinstall vs Manual install
Gentlemen,
I have a question regarding yum groupinstall vs just using yum install.
I have been reading tutorials online (for example how to run a Centos
LAMP). Most of the tutorials have examples to install httpd, mysql, etc
using yum install httpd....
The reason for this e-mail is that I noticed in yum grouplist that there
is an option to install Web Server, MySQL database server, etc.
Question: Is there any advantage to using yum groupinstall for a
webserver as opposed to using yum install httpd? I am just curious why
most online docs dont mention groupinstall and only reference installing
each app manually one by one.
Any information would be appreciated
