[SOLVED] downloading packages from groups

[PryGuy]

Good day everyone!

I'm going to make a Fedora (and later CentOS) server install (not Live) CD and I want to build it from scratch downloading packages I need. Everything's fine with rpm files, according to this article I can download them either with:

yum reinstall -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=/path/to/repo package

or with:

yumdownloader --resolve --destdir=/path/to/repo package

But I do not know what to do when it comes to groups such as 'base' or 'core'. The only thing I could invent so far is the quick and dirty method:

yum groupinfo base | grep "   " | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | tr "\n" " "

Is there a more kosher way for that? Thanks in advance!

Try

yumdownloader --resolve @base

Here's another example

yumdownloader --resolve @development-tools

So simple! I feel dumb 'cause I used this syntax many times in kickstart before.
You've made my day! Thanks a lot!!!
