So, on this next try I created a VM. In the network section I picked "NAT" but in the "Advanced" section I unchecked the box labeled "Cable Connected". This way, I would have a network adapter defined...but it should simulate the cable being unplugged. I also opened my eyes just a bit more...even if it is 5AM. I hate it when someone dial the wrong number. Anyway.... At the point in the install where one is prompted for the hostname there is a button in the lower left saying "Configure Network". I *did not* click on it since I don't want to configure the network. Also, later when the package selection came up I didn't check any "update" repo...or any other repo.

Maybe, but I can't see the DVD making it out the door with those unresolved. Are you 100% certain you have a "Release" DVD and not a Beta? Maybe you should run a checksum on it just to be sure? -- Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? -- Clarence Darrow -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
