Centos 7 Minimal Gnome Setup

Post by ally_uk » 2017/04/18 15:40:01

Hi Guys,

I have setup a minimal install using the following:

1. Install CentOS-7 - Minimal (First entry point in list)
2. yum groupinstall "X Window System"
3. yum install gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal nautilus-open-terminal control-center liberation-mono-fonts
4. unlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target
5. ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
6. reboot

That is good I now have a minimal Gnome setup, However I wish to add the Admin tools,
When I run yum group list I see the following:

Available Groups:
Compatibility Libraries
Console Internet Tools
Development Tools
Graphical Administration Tools
Legacy UNIX Compatibility

However when I run yum group install "Graphical Administration Tools"

I get a error about no groups file...

Any ideas chaps what the hell am I doing wrong :)
