That can be a bit hefty on resources, I know. However, that is how Gnome or KDE or XFCE were meant to be installed.
It is certainly possible to thin down the install by doing a: yum groupinfo "<group>"On each group and then only pick packages that you know you need. That does require trial and error and a very detailed knowledge of your exact requirements. If you have that knowledge, then by all means pick individual packages for each group ... personally, I just use the groupinstall method :)
