Development tools like gcc, on a server end platform ( specially something that is in production, internet facing, with public content - which a lot of CentOS machines tend to be ) - is usually considered a bad idea. The system installed from the ServerCD shares its package tree with the main CentOS distro, so you should be able to use yum against the same repositories. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
