Install from CD-ROM not network

I must be doing something stupid - so please be gentle.

I have made a set of ISO CDs for Fedora 11. I put in the first one (disc1 not the Live CS) and boot the system. This is fine. I choose "Install or upgrade an existing system". It is a fresh system not an upgrade. The installation proceeds - but it starts to download everything from the network, not from the CDs. How do I prevent this and force it to load from the CDs? I must be missing something obvious......

Hello david95960,

Well, I don't know really. But one idea is not to select those additional repositories during installation. Just go with the default "Installation Repo". Another is to disconnect your network card during the installation.

Yes. It was those additional repositories. So obvious when you say so. Thanks.

David
