Question Get & Remove Software - Small Problem

Hi Everyone,

As you can guess I'm new to Fedora. Haven't been with Fedora for like 5 or 6 years now. I've mostly been with Vista this whole time up until this last year I switched over to openSUSE and fell in love with that. However, over time I was getting more and more issues and their distro felt bulky the more I used it. So now I went back to Fedora, and I don't think I can leave! I love it! So much more stable and fast!

Anyway, I have a tiny problem that's not really a big deal, but it was nice to have when it was there. When I open "Get and Remove Software" (yes I'm using the KDE version), there used to be categories of software that I could browse and install with a click. Well all those categories dissapeared, and only the options left are "History" and "Installed Software." The search feature still brings up results. Anyway, is there a way to bring back the category list? Here's a screenshot of the window.

Thanks everyone! This place is great! A huge huge huge improvement from 6 years back and can't wait to help out in my way.

Re: Get & Remove Software - Small Problem

One workaround would be to use commands -

yum grouplist

and having chosen a group to install, use groupinstall like this:

yum groupinstall "Welsh Support"
