How do I install a minimal desktop graphical user interface (gui) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I need a simple graphical interface for my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server, but installing the "Desktop" group (via yum or in the Anaconda installer) gives me way too much -- I don't want a music player and all those other applications; just a simple desktop (with very few applications) to manage my server and I'll install exactly what I need later.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
