Firstly. Calm down. I believe your preconceptions are mostly at issue
here. 

The posts you responded to are talking about the fedup over a network
onto an encrypted partition. Not the DVD install. It works but your too
het up on your issue to realise what they are talking about notice.

Secondly, people are responding to your bugs with "Can't Reproduce"
because they can't. I can't. I've just now set up a machine with no
network card at all and successfully installed Fedora 19 from a DVD.
What makes this all the more fun is that the answer you want is in the
screenshot you posted.

And as Reindl has been getting all the action recently I'll finish with
this.
You, Sir, are what Aristotle would call "a 'tard"

Now you can get angry again,

Junk.
