CentOS - Feb 2015 - lost at 'repository' entry installing centos7

greetings.

while attempting to install c7, i got lost at 'repository' entry.

i canceled, loaded centos.org, looked for help for installing c7,
but did not find.

i know, i did not look in right place.

if such has been posted, i missed.

so what/where is 'the right place'?

much appreciate some help.

Sounds like he is doing a network install, and is looking for the network 
path that must be supplied in order to do the install.  If he doesn't have 
a local repository, then he has to supply the first part of the path (e.g. 
http://..../xyz/ ) and he has to stop at the directory level above .../7/ 
or some such.  I have to look it up, and don't remember where I have it 
stashed, since I haven't done a network install in many moons.  I have 
sometimes resorted to putting in a partial path, and then looking at the 
error message to see if I have to put more or less path into the box.  I 
have always thought that this is one of the worst documented spots in the 
installation documentation.  I suppose RH thinks only people with local, 
custom repos are using network install, and those people do it so many 
times that they don't need to be reminded what to put in the box.

excuse my prior terseness.

i pulled;

  CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-NetInstall.iso

"burned" it to a usb memory stick with;

  su -c "dd if=CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-NetInstall.iso of=/dev/sdd"

rebooted, to usb, answered all questions up to screen where an
entry asked for a "repository".

not having committed to memory, or, having written down any
repositories urls, i quit install.

in searching centos.org and wiki.centos.org thru docs and faqs, i
found not install instructions for centos 7, other than using;

  CentOS-BootService-ipxe.iso

which i pulled, "burned" to usb memory stick, rebooted to usb and
ended up with about 4 lines and a notice of a failure, which i did
not right down.

one thing of note, net install iso did write a new boot with 4
options, 2 of which allow me to boot into centos 6.6.

in time of doing other things and pulling emails a few minutes ago,
i did return to centos.org and c&p a repo url and printed it out.

i was intending to reboot after pulling emails and noted your reply
and i am replying to see what your suggestions may be, and;

  thank you for replying.
