I assumed (there's that word) that I should just hit enter, thereby selecting the "from DVD" option. I got a message about not being able to find the install materials? Is this what the install process is looking for? Shouldn't it be looking in the network?

You need to plug in the URL of the mirror you are using.  Other 
netinstall's do that for you, but in CentOS you need to do it yourself. 
Follow the links in Johnny Hughes' response and you'll be fine.  I've 
done it many times with no problems.


Don't forget to run update afterwards, though.
