I am trying to install the Gnome Desktop Environment on a RHEL 5 system.
I am NOT connected to the internet and do NOT have any local repo or the install disks.
Under normal circumstances, where a repo is available, I understand the easiest way to do this would be to:
# yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
But since I don't have access to a repo, I will need to download all the individual RPMs that make up this groupinstall.
So my question is, how do I find out what RPMs get installed with the "GNOME Desktop Environment" groupinstall so I know what RPMs I need to download?
EDIT: So I can download the entire distro on a DVD and use the DVD as a repo, but let's say I don't have a CD/DVD drive and need to download the RPMs individually.

yum groupinfo "GNOME Desktop Environment"
