Well to answer this point, there is yum's "group install" feature.
Wouldn't one of the text based browsers suffice? Lynx (still used for Samba?) or links or ...?
You can see the available groups and their status with:
# yum grouplist | less
And to install X it would be something like:
# yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
done deal.
