Not even necessary to do the text based install--keep in mind that in CentOS 6, thanks to RH feeling Fedora is their development platform, and Fedora being aimed more at the imaginary, somewhat moronic (in the developers' minds) "average user", text installation is crippled.
If using GUI mode, choose customize now--one advantage RH 6 will have is the ability to, in the main selection screen, choose minimal which will do this for you--then, as Jorge says, uncheck everything. Basically uncheck the desktops, go through applications from top to bottom, in servers, I believe it's just print server that they install by default, and then uncheck everything in base as well--go to the bottom, because X server is the last thing listed, so make sure you go through EVERYTHING in base. (You won't have to open options for each thing you uncheck, just unchecking them is sufficient.)
