I'm not sure I understand the question.  If you're asking if it is
possible to select server class install during the installation process
but adding Gnome to it then there is a good chance that you cannot do it,
I suppose.  My guess is that those categories are locked in, and if you
need to install something else you are better off by choosing the custom
category.

However, if you are asking if it is possible to install Gnome _after_ the
installation is complete the answer is that it is perfectly possible.  You
can just install the RPM files from the CD-ROM itself, or even go to the
HelixGnome site (http://www.helixcode.com) and download it from there
(their version is _really_ easy to install).

Either way, I wouldn't recommend running Gnome on a server.  Why have an
application hogging your resources when you should be using them all for
serving purposes?  I'd rather run the server in console mode or if
anything run a simple lightweight window manager such as fvwm.
