ok, i've tried this again a couple of times for each type of
install, and now i fail invariably because the install *insists* that
i need an active net connection to continue based on my software
repositories.
this disgnostic is displayed after i format my filesystems and
before i've even *selected* which repositories i want to use during
the install. weirdly, i got past this point to the software selection
phase not that long ago on the x86_64 install but now, both installs
fail, demanding that they need a net connection to continue.
is this a known issue? it's kind of problematic.
