hey, any way I can install X onto the 'minimal build' via yum? I'd just reinstall, but am working with a 2TB system and it would take hours to re-do. Just curious...

yum install __________________

yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" or yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

or, if you JUST want X with the minimal window manager

yum groupinstall "X Window System"

you could combine one or more of these on a single command.

also, yum grouplist

will show you more groupinstall options...

this is all in the default CentOS repository.
