have you read the manual ?

Code:

su -
man yum
---- then the help page ---
yum --help

then you will see the "grouplist" and "groupinstall"

have a look

Code:

su -
yum grouplist 

---- then from that list install the group -----

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Hi,

you can't install all packages in the repository since some conflict with each other (and even if you could I don't imagine that this is really something that you need to do). Perhaps you could tell us the bigger picture - what are you actually trying to achieve?

In a nutshell a package is a complete program including configuration files, man pages etc. For example the command:

yum install evince

Will install the package evince (PDF reader) including dependencies if missing. A group are several packages bundled together. The desktop is an example of a group.

There isn't a simple way to install all packages in a repository using yum. You would need to create your own repo and group everything together. Something like the following but will not install dependencies if outside the repository.

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=repo_name install \*
