Hi,

Until last week, I could install a CentOS 7 based desktop using the following approach:

1. Install minimal system.

2. yum groupinstall "X Window System"

3. yum install gdm gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal liberation-fonts

4. Install applications as needed.

This morning, the package group "X Window System" seems to have disappeared. This is embarrassing.

What happened?

Not sure as I don't have a CentOS 7 install to hand, only RHEL7 on which the "X Window System" group does not exist.

It does exist on RHEL 5/6 - perhaps you are getting confused between versions?

You can see the list of valid groups with:

yum grouplist
