Oh my.  No idea how to do that...  I've got support for RHEL here at 
work so have access to RHN and use the website to drive installation 
of packages, and that doesn't inlcude the groups available during 
install either. :-(

I am up and running and using the add remove applications button but want it to go to a mounted ISO versus asking for the CD.  I have installed the RPMs manually but wanted to be able to use the groups from the install.

On a side note how do you use the application installer to install additional package groups like development from a mounted iso image.  It keeps wanting me to insert CD-ROM but not letting me choose the mounted iso images.    Thanks for any feedback.
