I usually use a "Desktop" option when installing a new machine. This gives me all I need for an X session and then I add other packages or grouplists on an as-needed basis. I'm putting together a couple of machines that will not have network connectivity until all packages are installed. Is there a way to run yum to install packages/groups from the installation disk instead of from one of the normal yum repositories? If so, is there a ever a problem with packages on the second disk of the 2 disk installation DVDs? Thanks, steve campbell
