a week or so ago i did an alternate install with no network. it carried on like normal and i had no problems.

today, using 20130416, selecting the option to not configure the network at this time leads to the installer asking to select a mirror. if a mirror is selected, it then attempts to connect to it, which fails. game over.

did something change? i can't imagine so because i can install desktop without a network. 

it sure would be ideal to not have it be this way. not everyone has access to ethernet and those that don't can't always access wifi readily (read: b43). busybox (alternate's shell) doesn't have the capacity a standard shell would and so it's difficult to get around this latter issue, for example.

any thoughts?
