one more followup, just to prove i'm really trying to reproduce
this. parallel installs from scratch, but the x86_64 install made it
past the requirement for a net connection and is now at the software
selection screen, while the i386 install got hung up demanding a net
connection again. and i really did those installs identically up to
that point.
the obvious question -- why is the install telling me i need a net
connection based on my selected software repositories when i haven't
even reached the point where i've *selected* my repositories?
i'm guessing that if i tried this again, i'd get relatively random
results. thoughts?
