This sounds likehttps://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/104
Just to get this clear, here are things I learned:
1. Anaconda's screen switching is not what I thought. To get to the command line, one must use ctrl-F1, ctrl-B, 2. I believe at one time ctrl-F2 did the same thing, but it does not now. Once I discovered this, I could start debugging my problem.
2. My institution uses a very ancient DHCP server that does not work with the modern Anacondas at all, so I have to specify, on the kernel command line, all of the networking parameters to have anything work. I was using one of our local DNS servers as the only DNS. This does not work and I did not chase it beyond discovering that there were no routes available to the installer. However, if I use the Google DNS 8.8.8.8, there are routes and the installation does succeed.
3. Somehow, the availability of the routes allows the mounting of the repo from the installation CD.
Thanks to those who responded. I hope this adds to the group's knowledge.
Regards, Robert
