I'm in the middle of rebuilding two new machines, neither of them are attached to the network. After following the prompts (3-4 screens) I get "Some of your software repositories require networking but there was an error enabling the network on your system." and no other option but to exit the installation.
AM I reading this right? I can't do a standalone install anymore w/o network connectivity? I'm sure I didn't download the Live CD but just to make sure I'm downloading the DVD ISO again and reburning. Is there a way to get around this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks - Tod

If you only enable the install (DVD) repo, you will not require the network. I think you run into the same problem if you enable any of the software groups during install, but I am not sure...

Once you get past the drive layout screen, the ability to configure installation repositories is presented at the bottom of the page. You just need limit to the local repository to perform the install with the mounted DVD - duh.
For the next stupid question, can I just upgrade from FC10 to 11 without needing to blow away and reformat my drive? Seems kind of steep to need to reformat everything. Maybe I missed a checkbox somewhere?
Thanks -Tod

For info on upgrading, read the Release Notes for your target version (F11 in this case).
