Newbie: EL6 "database server" installed - how do I get the Gnome desktop ?

user8602532Feb 13 2011 — edited Feb 19 2011

I installed fresh EL6 on the same partition where EL5.6 was installed - did a reformat of "/" to take advantage of ext4.
While installing EL6, I chose "Database Server" option - and did custom partitioning to preserve my other OS-es. The installation ran fine
However I do not get Gnome ( or KDE will do too ) desktop.

How do I add that ? Will I need to run install again and choose a "desktop" option (without formatting the root partition ) ?
I have ULN registration if it matters

Thanks
Sumit
