Ahhh....  Simple....  Do something such at this...  (error intentionally created)

[root at localhost ~]# yum groupinstall `Cinnamon Desktop`
bash: Cinnamon: command not found...
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Error: Need a group or list of groups
 Mini usage:

install PACKAGE...

Install a package or packages on your system

aliases: install-n, install-na, install-nevra

My car doesn't work....is meaningless.  It doesn't tell you if the engine won't start, the transmission fails to engage.

It seems you really aren't concerned about this issue.....   So, never mind.  I'll drop out.
