It skips customize package selection and goes straight to starting the
installation? If so, you end up with an installed system?

If you have an installed system you can just start installing packages as
you'd like. The packages listed in step 3.19 are group packages in
RHEL/CentOS speak.

yum grouplist

I believe that's the command to list them out. It might be 'yum group
list'.

Look at the yum man page and search for group ( /group ) to find out more
about package groups.

man yum

When installing, quote the group package names and I think they're case
sensitive. For instance,

yum groupinstall 'Web Server'

I'm not certain if 3.19 is showing you the actual names, so what you find
might not match what you see on that page.

ciao,
