I'm doing my first 6.0 install the same way as I've always done my server installs -- in text mode. But it looks like there's no option to do the following in the 6.0 text mode installer?

• Set hostname
• Set network settings
• Choose packages

I really hope I'm missing something because having to use a GUI to install a server is incredibly painful.

---- get comfortable with a Linux editor

set hostname (probably gateway too) in /etc/sysconfig/network

setup network adaptors in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX

yum search/yum install for packages
