at this point you need to check to make sure you're getting the correct
information from DHCP. I don't know if you can, actually, because you
don't yet have the second stage installer where most of the tools come
from.

to install from something other than ftp you need local storage of the
entire distribution tree (from .../RedHat down), which is ~ 600M I think.
You can get a CD from many sources, but FTP should work. Make sure you're
getting a dhcp address somehow, during the RH install this is challenging.
