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.

P.S. I am on the mailing list, and I have password, and uid of CentOS,but
somehow I cannot login. Thus if you need additional info, let me know how can
access the mailing list.
