Well, I have had broken (kickstart) installs more than once, because
packages couldn't be found etc. I had to solve this by specifying a
well-known mirror as base url.
If a mirror is accessible, but has a broken repository, you're lost.
Sounds like anaconda could do with cribbing yum's code for falling back
to alternate mirrors when it can't find a file on the first mirror it
tries.
