Many, many discussions on this over the years on CentOS and Fedora lists.
Basically CentOS-4 (RHEL-4) was based on Fedora Core-3. This version of
Fedora had the "Everything Install" so RHEL-4 had it.
CentOS-5 (RHEL-5) is based on Fedora-6. This version of Fedora lost
the "Everything install" so RHEL-5 doesn't have it.
It's not coming back so you'll have to work round it ;-)
