I am now trying a FC11 install, I tried the recommendation below

with FC10, to press tab then enter askmethod. But this did not

went right along to install from CD, not giving me the option to
point it to
my local http repo server....

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

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...
And this time it 'worked'.
Now I have to figure out how to deal with the small screen that the
Eee 701 has...
I hav a E 701, you won't have any problem , just be sure it's setup
for 800x600.
Well I regularly did not see the bottom of the screen, and just 'knew'
to press <alt-N> to move to the next screen. Fortunately all the
important stuff for Disk Druid is on the top. But when it came to
custom software install, I could only unclick office productivity and go
with that, as the field for 'customize now' was off the screen, and I
did not remember what the keystroke for it is.
And isn't the E 701 800x480?
