Well, it all turned out to be quite simple. I have dual onboard NIC's.
My ethernet cable was plugged into the top one which was not the Realtek
8110S and seemed to confuse the installer. I put my ethernet wire in the
Realtek plug, took the trouble to download the FC3-test2-x86_64 CD's,
pointed the installer at my NFS directory and enjoyed my fastest install
ever. It just tore through all those packages in what feels like under
30 minutes.

I'm now updating a huge bunch of packages.
