To stop Network Manger ( for example then using pacemaker cluster) execute as root:
# service NetworkManager stop
To prevent Network Manager Service from starting at boot execute as root:
# chkconfig NetworkManager off
Keep in mind that you now need to manually configure your network interfaces.

How to turn off SELINUX in Red - Hat based distributions including CentOS, Oracle Linux and Fedora?
To check if SELinux is running execute following command:
# getenforce
To disable it, execute the following command:
# setenforce Permissive
This will put selinux in a passive (allow all) mode and last until the machine is rebooted.
To permanently disable it, change SELINUX= line in: /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

working and tested USB install procedure for RH 6 based distributions (RHEL 6.x, CentOS 6.x, Oracle Linux 6.x and others)
We needed to install CentOS 6.4 machines with USB and got into absolute madness. All RHEL cones have no working procedure and workarounds consisted of using FAT32 partition with 3rd party tools (problematic with install ISO files greater than 4GB) or multiple partitions and remounts. Until we found a very simple solution that did not work as well and fixed it.
To create the USB You will need:
Insert the USB stick to the port.
You need to find out the device name (for ex. /dev/sdb1 )
On systems with auto-mount just run df -h or plug it in and run dmesg | tail -20
Install livecd tools:
yum install livecd-tools
Make sure it is bootable (for ex. /dev/sdb1, via editing it`s parent - sdb ):
/sbin/parted /dev/sdb
(parted) toggle 1 boot
(parted) quit
Format it with ext3 (does not support ext4)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
Prepare the USB (for example using CentOS 6.4):
livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /dev/sdb1
Your USB is ready, it will boot but fail to install since it is missing install root, so we need to fix it.
Edit exlinux.conf, you will see something similar to:
append initrd=initrd.img stage2=hd:UUID=791fc126-638c-4f28-8837-f3c2eae31e57:/images/install.img repo=hd:UUID=791fc126-638c-4f28-8837-f3c2eae31e57:/
what is mising is directive "root=" so you need to switch the line to something similar to:
append initrd=initrd.img root=UUID=2cd71b0d-09a0-47b6-97ef-02c3fa90e9d3 repo=hd:UUID=2cd71b0d-09a0-47b6-97ef-02c3fa90e9d3:/
save the file and boot fro USB. It will install your OS.
