Redhat 7.0

Redhat 7.0

I am specifically installing and re-installing Redhat 7.1 However I have one very simple question. I would like to setup the Desktop installation routine for my new install. Then, I would like to install different networking packages as I download the latest rpm and install them. For example, I will perform a fresh Redhat 7.1 desktop install. Then I would like to install the actually Xserver package so the Xwindows session can be network. Later I would like to individual install the rpm for the FTP or Qmail package.

This way I can install each individual network package 1 at a time and test and learn the entire configuration.

So, my simple question is:

If I perform the desktop RedHat 7.1 install; How do I install individual network services and packages easily? Please use the xwindow Server module as an example. I appreciate any help anyone can give.

I am doing this because I wish to make a backup of the original CLEAN desktop and then I can always recover to that point if I screw up a module install and I can start over much quicker.
