You need more than 512 MB of RAM to do a graphic installation, I've
forgotten the exact requirement.  

As for text install, RedHat has crippled it--you cannot choose packages or
disk layout.   Apparently Anaconda developers decided to focus upon the
graphic install, and so, the only way to customize a text based install is
to use a kickstart file.  

So, your options are to increase the RAM so you can get a GUI installation,
use a kickstart file, or use an operating system where the developers still
think like system administrators rather than smart phone users. (Yeah, I
know that's unfair and FUD, but it is aggravating for something that is
supposed to be a server O/S.)
