RedHat 7.3 install

I just recently overcame many hardware problems and installed RedHat 7.3 on my old Pentium system. Trying to save time (my computer is a dinosaur) I installed a minimal system (excluded GNOME, etc.). Now that I know it works, I want to be able to install the packages that I left off. How do I do this using the install disks? I tried to update and it tried to update the packages that I had already installed, I want to install the packages that I chose not to install the first time.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Russell

Click on the install and choose which
package(s) you want to install. Don't run
the upgrade...

In order to get that far in the installer, you have to repartition the drive, don't you? Is there a way around this?

If you already have the basic system working, just use Gnome's RPM (GnoRPM) tool to install whatever other packages you want/need.
