During network installation of f10 beta, after partitioning of disk and formating error message is
displayed as shown below

I tried editing the path to my NFS repository path, with no use. I could see repodata directory in
NFS path and repomd.xml inside repodata.

Installation through hard disk image repository path also resulted in similar error.

Both DVD and CD based installation was producing same error.

OK, do you think that you have / had the same problem as I had?
https://bugzilla.linux.ibm.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48635

You should really try to install with VNC to see this option (see screenshot in bug #48635) or try
to install without a firewall in between.

Screenshot of error message

One can see here that error message occurs just after partition. Only options available are exit
installer and edit the repo.
