I want to install Xfce on a ClearOS server. They have not defined any desktop groups (actually no groups other than minimal). But lots of Xfce rpms are in their repos.

How can I see what rpms Centos would install with a 'yum group install'?

Then I get to install vnc server and set up the client right...


to *really* see what its going to install...

    yum groupinstall "Some Group"

then answer N (no) after it lists the packages it wants to install. this will show you not only whats in the group, but also any prerequisites.

Not needed. I want to install Xfce desktop on a ClearOS system. They do not provide a group for any of the desktops. So all I need is a list of rpms that create the desktop and let yum do its job from there. Of course, I need to read the manpage to figure out how to provide the rpms from a file that I got from the group info output....
