There is a little problem here :-)
mono-core requires libgdiplus. When I browsed the extra/ directory, I
saw libgdiplus in there. BUT,
# yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo=extras install libgdiplus
(snip)
Nothing to do
# yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo=centosplus install libgdiplus
(snip)

This was why centosplus had to be enabled to install mono. I am sure
Johnny can "fix" this problem easily. :D
