I don't think so. Go to http://mirror.teklinks.com/centos/7.1.1503/isos/x86_64/ and see what's at that URL. I did try it using in netinstall (just trying *everything* possible), it yielded the same error once again... and there aren't any Packages to be found which would be meaningful for installing packages.
hmm? thats the directory with the ISO files, the packages are over in ../../os/x86_64, here,
http://mirror.teklinks.com/centos/7.1.1503/os/x86_64/ in ./Packages/
This one works:
http://mirrors.mit.edu/centos/7/os/x86_64/
I know because I/ve used it for net installs twice in the last week or two, most recently a Thursday of last week.
Believe me, I wish it did work. I've been at this stupid specification which should be easy and done over with hours ago. But it doesn't work.
I agreee that it would be nice to have some better doc on how to choose the URL for a net install, I've stumbled around in the dark at times past trying to figure it out, too.
but it definitely DOES work if you get the URL right (and if you have your networking set up correctly, and the mirror isn't broken, and..., and..., etc.).
