That is an issue with anaconda, if it finds local install media, it
overrides the askmethod options and just goes ahead with local media,
Try this - boot your machine with the local media and when you get to
the point where it asks for language, ( first dialog ), just remove the
local media, see if it works from remote http or not then.

That is something worth remembering, so please go go ahead and open an
issue for it on the bugs.centos.org site and assign it to me. I shall
make sure its then looked at for 5.2 release. However, this is not an
issue which will cause the installer to not use an install method.
