The loader got an unknown error when trying to install some package or 
other.
The only choice I tried that worked was the minimal desktop.
After installation I was able to install packages used for WSPR and Gnuradio
with the script below.  It is important to do this before any groupinstall.
Once I did a groupinstall of GNOME first and subsequently I couldn't install
the libs needed for WSPR, etc. because of multilib errors.

yum --nogpgcheck  -y --skip-broken install gnuplot gifsicle giflib-devel 
ImageMagick-devel xfburn telnet-server xfce4-terminal xterm

yum --nogpgcheck  -y --skip-broken install portaudio-devel 
libsamplerate-devel *python-imaging* hamlib-devel numpy-f2py 
gcc-gfortran svn git

yum --nogpgcheck  -y --skip-broken install cmake boost-devel 
cppunit-devel fftw3-devel gsl-devel nasm yasm tiger* rss-glx* wine 
sphinx  python-sphinx

yum --nogpgcheck  -y --skip-broken install wxPython-devel python-cheetah 
PyOpenGL  *qt4* *qt-4* tbb  qwt-devel PyQwt PyQt-devel *swig*

yum --nogpgcheck  -y --skip-broken install wxPython-devel python-lxml  
alsa-lib-devel  texlive-dvips libXaw-devel ncurses-devel xscreensaver-extras


Afterwards I installed Xfce and groupinstall GNOME, which required 
--nogpgcheck
GNOME works but does not show the Wine probram loader option on packages 
such as LadyHeather310.exe.


Anything I try to do with Wine fails silently, even wine->notepad

Flightgear runs under Noveau but looks much better with the Nvidia 
driver on my GT670.
