I am now trying a FC11 install, I tried the recommendation below that worked
with FC10, to press tab then enter askmethod. But this did not work. It

my local http repo server....

I am doing yet another install, this time on a Dell SFF with an internal

I want to do a network install from my local repo.
With older Redhat stuff, I did a 'linux askmethod' at the enter prompt.
I
have noticed with FC10, that I would frequently not be given the chance
to
press enter, let alone type in the above command, but I would be given a
menu that would allow me to supply a URL anyway.
Well on this system I go right to the menu about
install/recover/bootlocal/memcheck and from here it goes into the install
from CD without ever being given the option to provide the URL of my
local
repo. Even if I let it go all the way to where you can provide which
repos
to load from, I cannot see how to point the installation repo to my
network
one.
I have tried various combinations of F1, F2, F3 at that startup menu, but
I
never can get it to a point to let me provide the URL of my repo.
Am I going to have to use a USB CD drive to trick it?

Try with the TAB key as suggested here.

I have no problem with either the F11 net-install CD or DVD. Which one
of the ISO images (Live-CD, CD-disc 1, net-install, or DVD) did you
use?
It is the FC11 CD 1 that I downloaded back in August.
I hit tab, got the prompt for the image load (don't have it in front of
me, so I don't have exact details), entered:
<space>askmethod
and pressed <enter> and it went on its merry way, not asking for any
method....
I can try again...
