Bob was just an example but I was following Robhogg's instructions at User not in the sudoers file - LinuxQuestions.org .

The goal was to be able to run sudo. CentOS didn't create an admin group or any admin users (i.e., me) on first install but I'm beyond that problem now having created the group manually and then given it root permissions.

Back to the installer - Isn't what the Add/Remove Software GUI shows me simply the packages that came with the CD download? Or is it looking at the internet to determine what's available? What if I want a program which isn't in the Add/Remove Software GUI though? How do I know which one is right?

YP/NIS, NIS+ and LDAP users should be aware that it's possible to have conflict with users configured in here with the result that an error will occur. You should ensure that local user's home accounts are located on local filesystems - e.g. creating a new entry in /home when it's mounted with automount will not work and as such the user may not be created.
