If you give the VM only 512 MB of RAM, the text-mode installer kicks in.
It does not prompt you to configure anything related to the network or
hostname. The system boots up without a network interface configured.
Also, it won't let you choose the install mode, I guess it defaults to
Minimal (which is fine by me, but still it's a bug).
If you give the VM 768 MB of RAM, the GUI installer is launched, and
this one allows you to configure the hostname, the networking details,
and choose the install mode. The system boots up with networking and all
the niceties enabled.

4. Known Issues
The installer needs at least 392MB of memory to work. Text mode will
automatically be used if the system has less than 652MB of memory.
