5T1 install problem: UrlInstallMethod instance has no attribute 'switchMedia'

I'm trying an http install, but I'm having problems.  As there is no
DVD ISO, I've copied the (root) contents of each iso into a single
directory.  i.e., there is only one Fedora/RPMS directory and it has
all (1481) the rpms from each CD in it.  Although not my method of
choice, this has worked in the past.

It gets as far as asking all the questions, formats the partitions,
resolves dependencies and just as its going to install, it dies.  Now,
there's a nice new dialog box that allows you to save a dump of the
problem to floppy or a remote host.  However, my floppy (USB) is not
recognised, and I can't get the remote to work - it doesn't tell you
what the transport is - NFS/FTP/sftp/scp/SAMBA/http - so I don't know
where to start with that.

Fortunately there appears to be a dump in
/mnt/sysimage/root/anacdump.txt.  scp is functional, so I can get a
copy of it.  Its somewhat large (403K) so I'll just quote the
exception.  If anyone wants more, I can provide it.

Any ideas?
