You booted from USB, in which case loader did not find the local install.img and thus had to seek out an install.img from a network location, ergo it asked you where to get it from. Had you burned the iso to media (CD/DVD) loader would have found the local install.img and used that to launch the gui which would have then defaulted to the mirrormanager link for getting the bits. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
