This is a catch 22. The installation script is not able to create a
wireless network connection. It is better to do the install with plug-in
connection. Then go to wireless after you install. Otherwise don't
select software until you have a minimum system installed. Another
approach is to do the initial install using a F14 Live CD.

If someone knows how to install a DVD using wireless I would be
interested in hearing about it,
