Many thanks to all! 

Is "man yum" the best way to "learn" about the suggestions?  Or is there another source?

Since I have the rpm's on CD's, is there a way to set up a list as suggested, but use the local rpm's?

Then you can do a group install of whichever of those you'd like...

# yum groupinstall "Web Server"
