Hi Richard,

I can answer only one of your concerns.

The text based installer _intentionally_ does not have support for 
custom partitioning since F12. Its in the Release notes.

And addressing your second query, when you install in text mode, the 
default runlevel is set to runlevel 3. All you have to do is change that 
in /etc/inittab or /boot/grub/grub.conf
