Exactly.
Did I mention the amount of my time it wasted?
I'm with John on this one.
I tried a network install and gave up after being able to change the URL
without any success, I gave up and downloaded the ISO images (a much
larger download.) It seems strange that I can do a net install, and
change the values, but it doesn't seem to work.
