That will fetch all the files over the Internet, which may be slow
(especially if you are experimenting and trying several installations).
As an alternative, you can use a DVD as a local installation medium by
serving it through Apache:

# yum install -y httpd
# setenforce 0   # temporary to enable httpd DVD access
# ln -s /media/dvd /var/www/html/fedora
# service httpd start

Change /media/dvd to wherever your DVD is mounted (or you can use a DVD
image mounted with the loopback option), then use
http://dom0_ip_address/fedora/ as the install location (do not use
127.0.0.1 as the dom0_ip_address, because it will refer the guest domain
to itself).
