The package list here, was tested on CENTOS 5.5 x86_64. There are two methods to do this.

  • YUM method, if you already have a working yum repository available.
  • RPM method, if you do not have a yum repository.

YUM method

You can use the "yum groupinstall" command to get it done, but it will install a lot of unnecessary RPMs. Better to install the following key packages. Their dependencies will automatically be pulled by yum.

There is already a yum repository configured in default system installation, which checks for media in any of the following: /media, /media/cdrom or /media/CentOS . Just mount your CentOS CD/DVD on /media/cdrom.

# mkdir /media/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/


The following will give you a fully functional GNOME core desktop:

# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install \
  gnome-session system-config-display xorg-x11-xinit \
   dbus-x11 gnome-applets

The following will add few basic GNOME utilities / tools:

# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install \
  gnome-terminal nautilus gedit firefox.x86_64
