I have been successful to install CentOS 7 using x86_64-NetInstall in default graphical mode. Thank you all to the installation team.
Now I am trying to install in text-mode by following advice at:
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart
If I insert "cmdline", anaconda teminate with error: "Could not open X display"
Thus I try inserting "text" instead of "cmdline". Everything else works fine except for "4. Install Destination".
I have 2 disks: one regular SATA disk, another m.2 Samsung XP941.
I chose 2nd disk: m.2, then it show only autopartitioning options
1. Replace Existing Linux system(s)
2. Use all space
3. Use free space
I do not want autopartitioning at all. I have created EFI GPT based partition table already. And I have specific layout plan for CentOS 7 because I have other systems (debians). I know, if I do not choose text mode install, I can choose "custom layout", and format them appropriately (root: ext4) Even though Debian has its own flaws in install, I can somehow manage to get it installed booting from elilo, or grub2 at my choice. I would like to do the same with CentOS 7.
A lot of people use CentOS for server type install w/o graphic mode. Thus it is important we can succeed in text mode install.
