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....
