I don't see how the internet availability issue changes depending
on whether it is yum trying to resolve dependencies or yourself
doing it the hard way.  If you can't get the needed rpms you are stuck
either way.  Note that fedora is a fast-changing
distribution so you'll probably have a gig of updates if
you are doing it now for the first time.  If you want something
that doesn't change/update quite so quickly and periodically
rebuilds the distribution isos so new installs don't take
so much of an initial update you might like Centos:
