hi all, I have a trouble with my Centos box, when I enter this:
yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
the yum process stop at these lines:
.....
--> Processing Dependency: gthumb for package: gnome-volume-manager
---> Package gok.i386 0:1.2.0-2.el5 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: libgnomespeech.so.7 for package: gok
---> Package gtkhtml3.i386 0:3.16.3-1.el5 set to be updated
---> Package hal-gnome.i386 0:0.5.8.1-59.el5 set to be updated

it seems yum doesn't work properly, I've waited for 20 mins but... I received nothing.
What's happened with my box?
thanks for advising

What is your Centos release version ('cat /etc/redhat-release')? Run 'yum clean all'. Run 'rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00?' Now what is the complete output of running 'yum -v groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment";'? Please attach as plain text file.

also Gnome is installed BY DEFAULT in CentOS 5.?
it should have been already installed

hi all, thanks for your comments, yesterday, I've reinstall it, and it is succeed, but I still don't know why it failed at my first installation, may be this Centos Box requires to reboot..

after installing you NEED to reboot to set up the user account and run "firstboot"
the anaconda installer should pop up a window telling you to reboot.
