I just want to install a minimal gnome desktop without all the thunderbird/firefox and any other packages that may come with full centos live cd. Is there something like yum groupinstall base-desktop? Ideally, I just want xorg-gnome and then add any other packages manually. No gdm also, I just want to run startx.

I have installed CentOS 6 in Virtualbox. Although I have chosen to install General Purpose GNOME Desktop, the GNOME desktop does not start. All I get is a black and white text prompt. I would like to know how I can install GNOME Desktop from the CentOS DVD.
How do I mount the DVD image?

Hello,
Wanted to use really minimal gnome desktop environment so installed only metacity and gnome-panel( v2.20.3). And it woks fine on my debian box.
I have the following gnome-panel( v2.16.1) problem on my Centos box:
If I start gnome-panel from xterm using command "gnome-panel &" it works fine.

I installed gnome-core on ubuntu(minimal version for the beagle bone) and it was almost 600mb. However when I try to uninstall it using
sudo apt-get autoremove gnome-core
it removes only 49mb. Any Ideas how to remove the entire 600 mb?
Hi everyone.
Yesterday I tried to install Fedora 12 on my PS3 with the Fedora12 PPC dvd.
The problem is that the installation process never asked me which package I want install. It just installed the minimal system. After the installation, I just can use my Fedora with command line.
I did a minimal install of CentOS 6.3 and now want to add a GUI. I tried using yum to install a GUI, but it says it can't resolve mirror.centos.org. I tried to install networking packages but I get directory not found for /etc.
How can I get a GUI?
