I installed the latest SL hoping that this would come with all scientific

none of them, not even g77, but that was fixed. Still, I am surprised-I
expected at least one special submenu for scientific packages and see
none,not even grace. grace I cannot even get with yum. Am I missing
something?
maybe this answers your question:

Q. Where are all the 'science' programs?
A. This linux distribution is called Scientific Linux because it is made by
scientific labs, for scientific labs and
universities. It is not named Scientific Linux because it has the largest
collection of scientific programs. It was
named back when it was small, and only the scientific labs were using it.
