Installation
In VMWare, you'll probably need to add the keyboard value in the VM config due to duplicate keystrokes. Check out the CentOS advise, same applies
Network Config
If you installed the basic package, most likely the NIC is not configured for DHCP. try:
User ~ $ system-config-network
Once DHCP is configured, the next step is to restart the NIC.
User ~ $ ifdown eth0 User ~ $ ifup eth0 Determining IP information for eth0... done. User ~ $ifconfig eth0
