Go to http://mirror.teklinks.com/centos/7.1.1503/isos/x86_64/ and see what's at that URL. I did try it using in netinstall (just trying *everything* possible), it yielded the same error once again... and there aren't any Packages to be found which would be meaningful for installing packages.

BUT .. if you do then the path is: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.1.1503/os/x86_64/ But, that is only going to work for a couple more days. CentOS does not support old versions, and that tree will be moved to the vault. Why do you want to do a net install. Download the DVD (ie: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511.iso ) and install from that. The install will be much faster than off site net install and you don't need a network connection to do the install. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've been at this stupid specification which should be easy and done over with hours ago. But it doesn't work.

I don't have any DVDs at the moment. But going out for shopping for some might be the solution.
