Nicolas,
Thank you! But I am Dyslexic and very mono-linguistic; at least I could
read the actual commands, if not all the wonderful comments...

But notes that this installs Gnome (which I don't want) and that instead to

Thing is on armhfp, I do not have “X Window System” or "Xfce"
I can partially answer your question, since I'm running Xfce both on my
workstation and my laptop.
I switched to Xfce with Fedora 20 and have put up with Gnome on my
Centos systems so far.
Here's my custom script that installs a full-blow bells-and-whistles
Xfce desktop from a minimal CentOS installation, without any unnecessary
packages.
https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-7-desktop-xfce/blob/master/postinstall.sh
Once you've installed the "X Window System" group and you invoke "yum
groupinstall Xfce", the group consists of not much more than a dozen
explicit core packages (Thunar, xfdesktop, xfce4-panel, etc.) and then -
of course - all the dependencies are installed. Give this a spin on an
x86_64 machine and then write down this relatively short list.
I don't have an x86_64 machine with Centos on it. I would have to play
with Qemu VM for centos on this Fedora 28 notebook. All my servers
(other than the ClearOS one) are ARM.
The armhfp repos (including epel) do not have either the "X Windows
System" or "Xfce" (and any sub-groups that calls). So I am asking for
the content of those groups. Hopefully the source scripts so I can
modify them (as needed) for armhfp.
It would seem that there is a source file somewhere in the source tree
with the script(s) contents.
thanks
Cheers,
Niki
