That's *weird* . Why would you even want "hidden" groups?
I was looking on a 7 box, and did see an "environment" group of "Server
with GUI"; I also see, under available groups, Desktop, and Desktop
Platform. I have no idea what the difference is.... I wish they'd have
"user install groups" and "expert install groups", so that when the CentOS
desktop clobbers Ubuntu, and Mint, and all the rest, those of us who know
what we're doing, and/or working on servers, can install more easily....
