[Ilugc] install linux without internet access

after partitioning the disk it *requires* configuring the network.
Cancel does not work. If it cannot find the internet, the install is
aborted - I did this 12 times, and found no buttons to tell it to
install it without internet.
The above said problem exists from Fedora-15 onwards.
Once the partition is done, the network gets activated and the repo files
under /etc/anaconda.repos.d/ points to mirrors.fedoraproject.org for
getting the packages required for installation.
The only way to get rid of this problem is to remove those repo files
before partitioning or at the beginning of the installation (this can be
done by switching to the terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F2).
This problem also occurs during kickstart based installation. So, for
those who do kickstart based installation using Fedora-15/16 has to include
the following pre-installation-script in the kickstart file to remove the
repo files. (else it won't read your repo URLs in the kickstart file).
%pre
#!/bin/bash
echo "Pre-processing"
rm /etc/anaconda.repos.d/* -rf
echo "Removed /etc/anaconda.repos.d/*"
%end
