Nicolas,
Thank you! But I am Dyslexic and very mono-linguistic; at least I could read the actual commands, if not all the wonderful comments...

But notes that this installs Gnome (which I don't want) and that

Thing is on armhfp, I do not have “X Window System” or "Xfce"
I can partially answer your question, since I'm running Xfce both on my workstation and my laptop.
I switched to Xfce with Fedora 20 and have put up with Gnome on my Centos systems so far.
Here's my custom script that installs a full-blow bells-and-whistles Xfce desktop from a minimal CentOS installation, without any unnecessary packages.

Once you've installed the "X Window System" group and you invoke "yum groupinstall Xfce", the group consists of not much more than a dozen explicit core packages (Thunar, xfdesktop, xfce4-panel, etc.) and then - of course - all the dependencies are installed. Give this a spin on an x86_64 machine and then write down this relatively short list.
I don't have an x86_64 machine with Centos on it. I would have to play with Qemu VM for centos on this Fedora 28 notebook. All my servers (other than the ClearOS one) are ARM.
The armhfp repos (including epel) do not have either the "X Windows System" or "Xfce" (and any sub-groups that calls). So I am asking for the content of those groups. Hopefully the source scripts so I can modify them (as needed) for armhfp.
It would seem that there is a source file somewhere in the source tree with the script(s) contents.
thanks
In the file 5307666922f0cd10058b04791f3f596cfcaab48df6fdd6cf847f349bd455e0bd-comps-Everything.x86_64.xml from the repodata in the Epel 7 repository there is the following for the Xfce group, is this helpful to you?
Yes! I can pull out the rpm list and build a file to feed into yum.
Can you point out the URL for all the groups? I am also going to need the "X Windows System" group, I believe (and should compare it to the Server GUI group).
Thanks
