Comments/Problems:
After detecting the two NICs, and choosing the one connected to my LAN, the installer invite me to specify an IP address without let me the chance to choose the DHCP way.
I tried to validate without entering an IP but received an error. So, I choose to go back to the install menu, then re-entering in the network config menu, and here was invited to choose the DHCP option. The rest goes as smooth as possible with no problem.
