a couple questions about yum and groups

  on an f11 beta install, if i run:

  # yum groupinfo Virtualization

i get a short list of packages categorized as "Mandatory", "Default"
and "Optional".  i'm guessing that the first means absolutely
required, the second means default selected but de-selectable, and the
third, well, not selected but selectable.  the questions:

  1) what are the options i used to configure what packages i want?

  2) for a given group, is there a way to show the *total* set of
     packages that would be installed after all the dependencies were
     included as well?

thanks.
