The extra time needed for installing base+updates over base should be pretty small.
IIRC the last time I installed F8, which was months ago, and it asked about additional repositories, it would not accept "/somepath" or "file:///somepath", nor even an nfs server to mount from.
Probably has something to do with Jeremy Katz's _marginally_ founded fear of and experience with incomplete repositories on local hard disks[1], but then you know about that[2].
Or are you indicating you _have_ gotten anaconda to use an additional repository that was on a local hard drive or NFS?
