Errr -- I told it exactly where to install from. When Anaconda started, 
stage 1 asked me for the install method, I picked "install from a URL", 
which I understood to be what what "install via HTTP" in previous releases, 
and I gave it the http URL to my loopback-mounted DVD install image. It 
loaded stage 2 just fine, from my loopback-mounted, but then completely 
forgot about it, and then installed from a remote repo, all night.

I don't need a repo editor. I just need it to load packages from the URL I 
told Anaconda to install from, just like I've done many times in pre-F10.
