If you give the VM only 512 MB of RAM, the text-mode installer kicks in. It does not prompt you to configure anything related to the network or hostname. The system boots up without a network interface configured. Also, it won't let you choose the install mode, I guess it defaults to Minimal (which is fine by me, but still it's a bug).

It's possible--according to RH, it's streamlined and simplified--accordingto everyone else, it's become a crippled thing. I know that there is no option for disk partitioning, and possibly no option for custom package selection.
