Hi there -- i am just looking for clarification on the yum "group install" option....
How can you tell what are valid groups?
IE I found the below example on google:
yum groupinstall "MySQL Database"
I have heard references to doing things like:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
But to the point - is there a list of valid groups for install?

Have you heard references of reading the documentation? 'man yum' provides all sorts of interesting ways to get information about groups.
But to the point - is there a list of valid groups for install?
Yes, but it varies repository to repository and how they were set up. Some use groups, some do not. Consult the documentation (man yum) for information. Specifically, you may want to reference the section about 'grouplist'.

I have been searching around today on how to obtain the list. I had in fact read the man pages, but found no references to what "groups" were available. In the man pages it references the : * groupinstall [...] * groupupdate [...] * grouplist [...]
But no specifics on how to get what "groups" are available.

Please don't top post to mailing lists. It's not polite. Also. There are no SET groups for yum. Seth does not sit at home nights restricting people to certain group options etc. Running the command 'yum grouplist' will show you available groups. If you add repositories, they may add their own groups.
