Hi everybody,
I had install CentOS6.2 in virtualbox with basic server option. now I can only log on in command mood but I want to log in with GUI. So I create a local repository and can successfully install anything using yum install. But when I try to install using "yum groupinstall 'X window System' " it replied me that there is no group available for this configured repository. I used those steps from these sites.. page 1 https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=162082&topic_id=37116&forum=56#forumpost162082 page 2 http://www.linuxreaders.com/2012/01/31/centos-local-repo-with-grouping/#.T6l2HMXuzZ6 after completing these steps when i type yum grouplist it says no list there. i don't want use the ftp sites for group install. i want to use the local repository so any suggestion will be helpful for me. thank you kandaker shahi |

Please review the recommended reading and do not multiple-post. Your two duplicate posts have been deleted.
It is impossible to guess exactly where you went wrong based on those two links, but it is necessary to have both a correct repository configuration, and to run "createrepo -g comps.xml /path/to/repo" with an appropriate comps.xml file. Perhaps the following Wiki article may help in general terms, although it need updates for CentOS-6: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror |

Nobody has written the article for CentOS-6 but as I said, the same concepts apply. Perhaps an example will help:
On systems other than the server /share is an NFS mount, or in some cases a symbolic link to a directory within an NFS-mounted filesystem. I never had to run createrepo because everything, including metadata, is kept in sync with a public mirror via rsync. |
