When you get to the install prompt where you "press enter", instead of
pressing enter, type in 'linux askmethod' and press enter. It's routine
install as normal _except_ it asks for a source.

What install method are you using? expert?
I do a routine "press enter key to install" installation and it NEVER
asks for the install method (source). Of course I am installing from the
CD, I just booted from it! :-)
Try that instead of the method you are using.
