Thanks, this is not an update, it's a full install on a machine with a 
new hard drive (and some data drives I tell the installer not to use). 
At the point where it is about to write the boot sector it asks for a 
network connection, which it doesn't have. Tried booting from optical 
DVD, tried from DVD converted to USB flash, same behavior.

Did your installs by any chance use wifi instead of wired and do 
networking over that? I don't have that option, network install isn't 
possible in this case. The only network connection would be over a dial 
connection on a BAD rural phone line, and would require setting up an 
account to do that.
