I had XFCE group installed and working on C5.8 32 bit.
I have done a fresh installation using the C 5.5 DVD.
I cannot seem to find the XFCE group now. Has this been removed from Centos 5.x ?
There is a version in CentOS Extras ... however, it is outdated.
I was going to upgrade it ... BUT ... I found that it is now being maintained in EPEL for EL5.
I would recommend that you use the EPEL version of XFCE.
Thanks Johnny.
This is what I'm getting now:
[root@karsites ~]# yum groupinfo XFCE Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Setting up Group Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
- base: mirror.for.me.uk
- epel: mirrors.ukfast.co.uk
- extras: mirror.for.me.uk
- rpmforge: nl.mirror.eurid.eu
- updates: mirror.for.me.uk
Warning: Group XFCE does not exist.
I was installing xfce4 with:
yum -y groupinstall "XFCE"
Has the name been changed?
The CentOS extras group name is:
XFCE-4.4
I don't think the EPEL version has groups.

Maybe it's been removed now from extras as it's old?
OK - got it now Johnny. So I just install every xfce* package from EPEL and that's dealt with it?

Hi,
This may or may not be helpful, but I'll put this out there anyway just in case :-)
In the CentOS 6 version of EPEL repository the group is called "Xfce" (Case Sensitive)
so:
yum groupinstall "Xfce"
Should do the trick.
If that doesn't work try "yum grouplist" and find a group related to XFCE. :-).
Hope this helps.
