hey, any way I can install X onto the 'minimal build' via yum?

I'd just reinstall, but am working with a 2TB system and it would take hours to re-do. Just curious...

yum install __________________

Sure:

yum groupinstall "X Window System"

and perhaps:

yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

to taste.

Cheers, Gavin
