Certainly, while the anaconda from the Fedora 15 DVD install starts up, 
there is no network accessible storage. Unfortunately it causes a fault 
and a core dump before completing.

As it happens I do have a NAS attached to my local network, although why 
would that cause a problem? It certainly is not a problem for Fedora 14, 
but trying a boot with it switched off would do no harm.
