Since I've reported something similar (with DVD ISO on harddisk) for
the past releases, it has been necessary to boot the installer with a
repo=hd:/dev/sdaN:/path/to/iso/image  argument in order for the
installer to find the ISO image instead of loading from Internet.
Give it a try, replace /dev/sdaN with the device for your USB stick.


thank you Jos and Michael, but eventually the install completed successfuly.
now i'm wondering why login to gnome (fallback) fails first time but works on second attempt .
