Yes, (in my previous attempt at installing ClefOS) I installed a non-GUI server...manually installed a number of packages....lynx, ftp, x3270, tiger-vnc, gcc,... The problem I ran into was that I couldn't find a way to manipulate (configure) the firewall. The only references I found to firewall configuration was a GUI. I then attempted to install X-Windows and got it working, but ran into the LibreOffice installation problem.
Personally, I'd prefer to stay as a text-based server, but it appears that some things are just easier via GUI (network modification...e.g. new adapter). When I installed SLES 12, I had no problems installing the GUI server. So, I'm a bit confused why this is becoming a chore with Red Hat 7/ClefOS. Frank M.

If not, you can do a vanilla Server install and add on the X environment later with yum so you can forward GUI displays to your workstation through the ssh tunnel.
