Did, and tried ftp, always asks for a network connection. And a few 
others have reported that fc16 doesn't install without a network, based 
on a question in a chat room.

I don't get to ask to install anything, I get a pop-up on the screen 
which says the install needs an active network connection, and won't 
proceed without it.
