Many thanks!

Currently I am downloading the "GNOME Desktop Environment", so once that is done, I'll try your suggestion.

By the way, I have forgotten where/how to modify the boot process so that it brings up GNOME instead of the text mode.

Is "man yum" the best way to "learn" about the suggestions?  Or is
there another source?
    

There's a couple. Here's one:

Since I have the rpm's on CD's, is there a way to set up a list as
suggested, but use the local rpm's?
    

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., file:///some/path) so you
don't need a web or FTP server.
