Missing Add/Remove Package in GNOME

Post by vk101 » 2007/08/24 13:36:32

Sorry, slightly silly question.
I did a barebones 5 install (Base only).
Currently trying to install VMWare, requires a few development libraries.

Anyway, after I did a base only install, I manually added GNOME desktop, but I'm missing the Add/Remove Packages option. I'm not sure which of the packages in the yum repositories I need to add it back.

FYI: yum is installed by default even on a barebones install.

You want to at least do: yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers

Weird.

Did a manual GNOME install .. Add/Remove [GUI] option wasn't there.
Just manually installed X Windows, Add/Remove option is now in the Application menu in the Gnome desktop.

Crazy, eh?

Anyway, thanks Lenard, good to go.

Cheers,
