I need to be able to run graphical installation programs, but do not

I want a low number of packages installed, but want to avoid frequent
package installations as well.
What do you think?
@base
@editors
@text-internet
@admin-tools
What is missing for GUI applications?
@base-x?
If you install vnc-server then you ought get everything needed to run it.
If you're running a GUI and think you might need to refer to online
docs, or run a google enquiry to solve some problem, probably you should
have firefox too.
You might also find a need for email, maybe to send yourself something.
Red Hat favours Evolution, but I prefer Thunderbird.
Unless you're familiar with mutt (an email client) I suggest you
probably won't like it.
For a text editor I use vim in its character-based or GUI incarnation as
circumstances dictate.
If you do much commandline stuff, take a look at screen. It gives
several command-line sessions on one console.
Selecting a group such as @admin-tools is fine if you want all of its
members.
Once you have a manual install, you have a ks file to automate other
installs "just like it."
