I just did a SPARC install (thanks to Dennis for the assistance too) and elected only for a very minimal install. I then decided to add GNOME bits just to see what worked for curiosity. I did an "yum install gnome-desktop", thinking this would pull in nautilus, etc.
I don't think this is a secondary arch thing, but wouldn't it make sense that this would pull in more than a few packages?
gnome-desktop is not a metapackage, it's a library.
