In another rip-and-replace adventure, of multiple, where the vm refuses to leave the libvirt stage more than once, I stopped in the middle of things to make dhcp mark the random MAC address with the IP I needed the vm to have. 
Then for some reason (still don’t know why) the installation completed successfully. 
Hopefully I can move on from there without issue. 
Very wary of trying again from scratch.

Ok I managed to continue choosing DHCP, which interestingly, it took
an IP from the 10.200.30.0/23 subnet.
I saw a lot of selinux AVC issues in journalctl, but I didnt see the
install process end and the screen was obscured with multiple network
messages.
Is it ok to ssh in and make it static?
Am I allowed to make local changes inside it?
Because its not resolving to the IP address DNS has for it (10.200.30.10/23).
I would also like to make it an IPA client and such.
