Many thanks!<br>

Currently I am downloading the "GNOME Desktop Environment", so once
that is done, I'll try your suggestion.<br>
<br>
By the way, I have forgotten where/how to modify the boot process so
that it brings up GNOME instead of the text mode.<br>

There's a couple. Here's one:

Copy the packages to a local dir and run yum-arch (C3) or createrepo
(C4) on the dir. Then modify /etc/yum.conf (C3)
or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo (C4) to point to the dir. Note that yum
*does* recognize the file: protocol (e.g., <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file:///some/path">file:///some/path</a>) so you
don't need a web or FTP server.
