is there an easy way of running yum from a list instead of entering package names? entering names in groups of 5 to avoid problems is a bit slow.
yum group list
and
yum group list hidden
and then
yum group install "group name goes here" "another group name goes here"

that looks doable, except after haven read man you again for 'group', at this time it is a little more than i feel up to dealing with.
after replying to both your post, i am going to try using redirect;
yum-shell install < pkgnames.file
if works, great. if not, at least i will know yum-shell does not work with redirect input.
something else interesting about fresh install, i installed 6.5 dvd1 on my laptop without any problems.
It contains the packages on the media. Netinstalls grab the latest versions of the packages. If you do a netinstall, and then a yum upgrade after rebooting, nothing needs to be updated. If you download even CentOS 6.7 and do a yum upgrade a bunch of stuff will get replaced.

that seems to be what i seem to recall.
