Since my "ultimate goal" is to get a (relatively) clean F21 on my server, I started experimenting using the Heisenbug netinst.iso with a specified repository of http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/21/x86_64/os
It would be most useful to be able to specify a copy of the repository on a local HD: /dev/sdd1/fc21/os - but in the meantime I will have to install over the net at a more leisurely pace.
Do you not already mirror anything in Fedora at all locally? If not, you may think about setting up rsync or something to do that onto a local server/HD of some time, one that you can always have access to, via http, ftp, nfs, etc.. You can then set it up to check however many times a day/week/month you want so it's always up to do.
It does make installs/upgrades/etc..a lot faster and you don't need internet access while doing it.
