Christian,
I ran into almost that exact problem very recently, and found the only way
to
convince anaconda to leave the CD alone was to put literally nothing on the
CD
(I'm using VMware to test, though, so I didn't make any coasters) - just
the
'isolinux' directory and its' contents.
After seeing that the CD isn't useable, anaconda will attempt to fetch the
netstg2.img from somewhere, and installation proceeds acoordingly.
hth,
Klaus
