It's on a vmware guest - don't know how to show the guest ttyS; i get 
the hosts ones instead. Anyone know how to view the guests ttyS ?

So I should continue to try and work out where the issue actually lies ?

How about having packages appear in two places - eg under 
Applications/Sound and Video, and under a repo specific group like 
rpmfusion free or non-free ?
I think that being in multiple groups is possible ?

agreed.

in what group could someone expect to find the rpmfusion-free or nonfree 
-release packages. IIRC if you don't select them during install, then 
the yum definitions will not get installed, and you wont be prompted 
when updates are released, or would you be able to select rpmfusion 
packages from add/remove software. But I definitely didn't find them any 
where within the anaconda groups structure after configuring to add 
rpmfusion repos.
