Not exactly. Those options pre-load a number of packages and are only available during installation.

However - all of the packages that make up those options are available after installation from the Add/Remove Software application. (available in your menus.)

You'll have to manually add all of the software development tools (gcc, make, ld, etc.) that you need.

Luckily - it's a lot less painful than it sounds. :D

Cheers,

A different approach is to employ the wild card character within yum so that nearly every package for software development is installed for you (what's left out may either not be in the standard ydl releases or just not on the mirrors your version of yum knows about). Here's how to avoid unnecessary labor:

#yum install "*gcc*"

yum will take care of all the associated linkers and what not which each package utilizes. True you will see a whole list of packages you may not have even known exists, but you can choose to have them all (maybe there's an insane software engineer dying to express himself/herself within every language utilizing either the Cell or PPC systems) or review the list and only install those which interest you.

All the best...

We actually use this method now:

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

That way - you only get the packages you need, not just the wildcard matches.
