Not needed.  I want to install Xfce desktop on a ClearOS system. They do 
not provide a group for any  of the desktops.  So all I need is a list 
of rpms that create the desktop and let yum do its job from there.  Of 
course, I need to read the manpage to figure out how to provide the rpms 
from a file that I got from the group info output....
