yum install epel-release yum groupinstall "X Window system" yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop" # immediately switch over to grafical gui (if possible) systemctl isolate graphical.target; # Tell your systemd to start the graphical.target per default after boot unlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target; ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target; reboot;
you should get a grafical login prompt now
minimal:
unfortunately there is no “minimal” or “core” version of Gnome2 MATE on CentOS (on Debian there is “mate-core”)
It per default comes with LibreOffice, Firefox and co.
if one wants to uninstall all not-absolutely needed software try:
yum remove gnome-{clocks,weather,screenshot,video-effects,contacts,dictionary,documents,font-viewer} \
cheese eog empathy evince{,-nautilus} totem{,-mozplugin,-nautilus} \
`rpm -qa|grep -i libreoffice`
yum autoremove
