Hello.
I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed. I would like to install all packages exactly like it is when we click on 'install everything' from the CentOS 4 installation. Is there a way of doing so with 'yum install' something ? My goal is to have the exact replicate as the default CentOS 4 'install everything' option. I am in fear that there would be other packages installed than only the ones from the default CentOS install by typing 'yum install *' if this is possible.
Thanks, Daniel
I personnaly wonder why one would want to have all packages installed on a remote server. You really need all the X applications?

Hello, Ugo. I prefer having everything than choosing each package I will need, also not knowing what I won't need and what I definitely need. There are many packages depending on each other, so installing everything is just the simplest to me. I don't like typing a command and it is not implemented, or editing a /etc file and it doesn't exist. I have plenty of space anyway.
