Joseph, I suggest that you use the Alternate CD to install instead.

If the install has problems finding the internet, it will prompt you to
try again, configure your interface, or configure later. Select the
configure later option (can't recall the exact wording, but it's obvious
enough) and complete the install from the CD. You can then sort out the
network issue after the install & download the updates accordingly.

Alternate CD is here:
