When you select each package group for install, there is a link thats shown that shows you all the packages that can be installed from that group and short descriptions of each one. Use that to refine your package selection.

A common problem with this model laptop:
I must lower the color depth in order to get 1024x768 res.; i can deal with that.

I setup a user: 'eddie' with SMB Net Access. I have logged in as root, and setup my flash drive with my files.

Installed flash plugin (rpm) for firefox [works]
extracted configure-thinkpad-0.9.tar.gz
./configure:

Code:
checking for libgnomeui-2.0... Package libgnomeui-2.0 was not found in the config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'libgnomeui-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libgnomeui-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
SAME ERROR

Well, we are back to square one. You need to make sure that libgnomeui-devel is installed using the instructions I posted before. If its not then install it. You can also check his by by doing
Code:
#rpm -qa | grep -i libgnomeui*
If the devel package is installed it will be printed to the screen if its not then install it.

scratch that, i got it; installing "libgnomeui-devel-2.10.0-1.i386.rpm"

I claims it needs the following dependencies:

glib2-devel
gtk2-devel
libgnomeui

What the hell?
What do I need to do now?

If they are missing then you just do the same as above,
Code:
#yum install glib2-devel gtk2-devel

You can import the rpm key by doing,
Code:
#rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.3.2/RPM-GPG-KEY

Is this machine connected to the net? If it isn't then thats why yum isn't working properly and you have to search on your installation cd's for this package and install from there or just have to try and use the add/remove program.
