You may want to look at the yum "shell" option (man yum-shell).

interesting.
would you presume that something like this might run?
yum-shell install < pkg-list.file
Read the man page. What you are suggesting is not how it works.
The dvd iso and netinstall approaches are very different. The dvd has everything while netinstall assumes you pull the packages from somewhere. If I'm doing more than one machine I always pull all the packages to a local machine and use that for my netinstll source.

aware if use/purpose of netinstall. as stated, used netinstall on laptop with 6.5 without problems.
may have been because it only has 1 cd/dvd drive and 3 usb ports. where as desktop has 1 sata cd/dvd and 7 usb ports with 1 cd/dvd at port 7.
Actually what you said was:
something else interesting about fresh install, i installed 6.5 dvd1 on my laptop without any problems.
so did you do (are you doing) a netinstall, or an install from DVD?
Isn't DVD1 a bootable iso and, along with DVD2, a comprehensive package set? I.e., if you have DVD1 (and ideally 2) why would you do a netinstall?
The Centos-7 netinstall iso at least does give an option for using a cd/dvd based iso as the package source, but the default is one of a range of network based options.
