To see what packages you have installed run this from a command line:
rpm -qa |more
If you are looking for a particular package you can use grep:
rpm -qa |grep gnome
This will show you those packages with gnome in the package names.
To install additional packages I recommend, as I am sure other will, you
use up2date or yum. These tools will handle the dependencies for
installing a particular package.
Please configure yum to use a mirror site. If left at the defaults it
hits the main red hat repository which is over loaded and will provide
poor response.
yum install gnome-desktop
or if you just need to update the package:
yum update gnome-desktop
To update all installed packages on your system:
yum update
Check out the man page for yum or one of the web sites that details
this.
