You can use the System Settings -> Add/Remove Applications, which is where you would add this package group. Or, in the Docs Guide, there's a page of the three actual packages that are absolutely required, which you could use to do "up2date -i pkg1 pkg2 pkg3" (sorry, don't recall off the top of my head). Anyway, perhaps this information I'm spouting here needs to be in the Docs Guide. I'm off to a gig but if I get a chance I'll BZ this over the weekend, at least as an RFE. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
