Maybe the yumgroups.xml files on this miror are wrong ones. I didn't realize - FC1 doesn't have yumgroups.xml file - only rawhide has it. cd /var/cache/yum/ rm */yumgroups.xml cd base wget http://mirror.eas.muohio.edu/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/yumgroups.xml <perhaps change mirror in /etc/yum.conf to a different one> yum grouplist I get something like: -------------- Getting groups from servers Installed Groups Administration Tools Authoring and Publishing Compatibility Arch Development Support Development Tools Editors Engineering and Scientific GNOME Desktop Environment Games and Entertainment Graphical Internet Graphics Kernel Development Network Servers Office/Productivity Server Configuration Tools System Tools Text-based Internet X Software Development X Window
