Hi,
Thanks everyone, yes server has no GUI by default, so should have added a install time, now working by adding later
Thanks

What caught me out (_doesn't_ sounds like it did you though), was that the CentOS 6 x86_64 installer chose to do a text-based install, through lack of support for the graphics card, I guess (this is inside VMware Server 1.0!). The text-based install does not give you a choice of the kind of stuff to install, you just seem to get 'minimal'.
I had much better luck after reading through the install guide (here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installati... ). Booted off the iso, hit <ESC> and then at the boot prompt: linux vnc. I could then use a VNC client to do the nice graphical install.
