%packages
@admin-tools
@base
@core
@czech-support
@editors
@gnome-desktop
@graphical-internet
@hardware-support
@java
@online-docs
@text-internet
@web-server
@base-x
xfsprogs
mtools
gpgme
gvfs-obexftp
hdparm
gdm
%end

^ well, gnome-desktop and graphical-internet? why?

=> bug?

and the real list of the groups after the installation:

# LANG=C yum grouplist

=> another bug? - how can I get 40 groups installed when only 13 
were selected?
(did I miss something, are those groups of groups? - I haven't 
found such)

what should I do with all those Support groups, I can't speak 
Japanese and I even did not know what is "Venda"? (no offense, I 
just don't live in Africa and I'm perfectly okay with the fact 
that some people know nothing about Czech :-))

yeah, I understand - I just wondered what are the reasons, if 
there is really no room for improvement

and Bruno makes a good point - I totally forgot about the games 
... shame on me: especially when these days I'm trying to write a 
spec for FreeOrion which is not that small
