The last time I used the netinstall CD (on Centos 6, not very many months ago) it asked for a URL, not a CD.

why am i not surprised. :-D
what got bombed was originally installed as 4.5 via dvd. so i have not had 'joy' of knowing the problems of a fresh install in a while.
i am glad to say that by chance, day before problems i did run a 'yum list installed'. i am about 40% of getting system back to where it was.
is there an easy way of running yum from a list instead of entering package names? entering names in groups of 5 to avoid problems is a bit slow.
yum group list
and
yum group list hidden
and then
yum group install "group name goes here" "another group name goes here"
something else interesting about fresh install, i installed 6.5 dvd1 on my laptop without any problems.
It contains the packages on the media. Netinstalls grab the latest versions of the packages. If you do a netinstall, and then a yum upgrade after rebooting, nothing needs to be updated. If you download even CentOS 6.7 and do a yum upgrade a bunch of stuff will get replaced.
