You might almost do better to choose advanced install and choose a 
lighter desktop than GNOME 3.  I don't use GNOME myself, but from the 
posts I have read 1G may not really be enough memory to get good 
performance with a RAM guzzling heavy-weight.  XFCE and LXDE are both 
available at install time.  KDE 4 is also available, but is also a 
heavy-weight.
