EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS	
Let us say you want to install XFCE
If you run: yum grouplist
you will see there is a group called: XFCE Software Development
So you can run:
yum groupinstall XFCE
after the installation at the point that you are logging in after you
enter your username,  you will see a window of choices below the passwd
enter field. By default in might say: Gnome
Changing the field to choose XFCE and you will be logged in to XFCE.

time you login.
You may find other DE options are already on the list. They can be
chosen at the time you install F15.
