Before I hit the reboot button, I adjusted the /etc/resolv.conf to not 
point to a real dns server, and added my internal web server's ip with 
the http host name that anaconda was using. This allowed me to insert 
the file that it was complaining about, but then it's missing ones that 
are in the Fedora/ repo. Swapping back and forward a few times got me 
about 20 packages in to a 1500 package install. At that point I crossed 
fingers, and rebooted.

By choosing my original F8 kernel, I am now working again. I don't think 
the package updates had begun yet, so the error dialog is over-cautious 
in this case.
