One way you can control this is by boot parameters

ipv4only=1 will enable only IPv4 during installation

For reference, these are the related boot parameters you can use to
control this kind of behaviour

ipv4=1/0 - enable/disable IPv4
ipv6=1/0 - enable/disable IPv6
ipv6only=1 - enable only IPv6 during installation
ipv4only=1 - enable only IPv4 during installation

Hope this helps
