This is normal for the graphical installation.
Is it? 5.1 starts up an X-server and asks these questions in a graphical screen.
You might want to check that. IIRC, every time I have actually installed CentOS from the DVD/CD, it goes into the pseudo-graphical text mode for disk test, language and keyboard, and /then/ it starts up the X server to do the rest.
That's how I remember it worked when I installed 4.4 and then 5.0 on my home desktop, 5.1 on my laptop (and once on my aux desktop at home) and 5.2 here at work....
Cheers.

Within the past month, I've done 5 installs of CentOS 5.1 on Dell servers via their DRAC interface. They all behaved as I described.
Kind regards,
