OK, I managed to install the VM. I did a 'Minumal-Desktop' install and
then installed the 300+ additional packages after the 'Minumal-Desktop'
completed and the VM rebooted (I used the package list from the 32-bit
'Development-Workstation' install I did earlier). I still don't know
why selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6.noarch caused the install to
go off into never-never land... There was no problem doing a
'Development-Workstation' install of the 32-bit version. My *only*
guess was the 1gig was not enough RAM for selinux-policy-targeted
post-install script with large number of installed packages, but there
were no error messages, so I really don't know what was going on.
