When I changed my memory available from ½ Gb to 1 Gb , and my video memory to 24Mb, my installation script went from an interface reminiscent of MS-DOS in the 80's to a nice GUI installation, and my number of packages installed went from 200 and some to 1400 and some.

the text installer in CentOS-6 will default to a minimal install set and
does not give you any package selection options - however, with the gUI
installer you should get ( and I am sure you did ) a package selection
screen that you most likely just clicked through without looking at the
package sets already selected.
