The group related stuff I can do now with s-c-p, can I install individual 
packages (not an update of a previously installed package) from a gui 
interface?

Can I remove one of more packages from gui interface?

The design spec cited in 
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/specs/redhat-config-packages 
looks real good but I am not sure what the status of this is.  The might be 
some RFE or suggestions that I would offer if this was an active effort but 
why waste the time if it is a dead issue?

I can do it all now manually via rpm but it is a bit time consuming.  There is 
the additional complication of figuring out any dependencies that need to be 
installed.  The same situation exists for removing packages ... oops can't 
remove that because something needs it.
