yum install "*"
or
yum install "xsod*"
to avoid interpretation of the glob (*) by the shell.

This is what I do with up2date from RH. I highlight the list of
packages that I want and then select install. Or I can select all which
is a desired option sometimes.
I think it is a waste of time to pick each package individually. For
example, I had to do the following to install xosd:
yum install xosd
yum install xosd-devel
Why isn't yum install xosd* allowed?
Don't get me wrong. I am not asking for a GUI like in up2date just good
command line features to save time.
