I can confirm that I too have had problems doing SL 7.0 net installs to VirtualBox VMs - it seems to be fine with physical machines though. I haven't yet tried the above inst.repo option. -- Mark Whidby System Administrator/Operations IT Services
RE: Installation source not populated for SL 7.0
Hi all, I remember to have installed SL 7 beta on VirtualBox VM (under SL 6 host) from web. I downloaded the web install iso; in the installer, I had to set: first my local proxy, and then the url for the packages; if I remember well, at that time it was http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7rolling/x86_64/os/ But now, it should be http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/ I was able to install several betas this way. Of course, at each instance, one must retype everything.

Some of the ones I use are published at: https://github.com/nkadel/nkadel-rsync-scripts Then you can point to the internal mirrors for yum based OS installation, mock, and if desired for managing updates.
