FC10 install will not offer 'askmethod'

I am doing yet another install, this time on a Dell SFF with an internal CD.
I want to do a network install from my local repo.
With older Redhat stuff, I did a 'linux askmethod' at the enter prompt.
I have noticed with FC10, that I would frequently not be given the
chance to press enter, let alone type in the above command, but I would
be given a menu that would allow me to supply a URL anyway.
Well on this system I go right to the menu about
install/recover/bootlocal/memcheck and from here it goes into the
install from CD without ever being given the option to provide the URL
of my local repo. Even if I let it go all the way to where you can
provide which repos to load from, I cannot see how to point the
installation repo to my network one.
I have tried various combinations of F1, F2, F3 at that startup menu,
but I never can get it to a point to let me provide the URL of my repo.
Am I going to have to use a USB CD drive to trick it?
