yes, I did mention installing in text mode so you can see what's going 
on, but once that's done you would need to boot into runlevel 3 and 
update via yum or up2date.

to do that, when GRUB starts, just hit any key except enter and edit the 
boot command. append the number 3 to the end, and it should boot up into 
text mode.
