Joseph,

Make sure you do what Peter suggested, IE - I personally do a download from 
internet and then an install from local directory, but others do just an install 
from the internet.  Although it appears as three install options it is really 
only two - download and install or straight install.  

The big thing I question based on what I noticed in your setup.log above is what 
mirror site did you select and also what packages did you choose to download or 
what packages did the chooser show you it was going to download.  I ask because 
I don't see the mirror site listed nor do I see any listed packages and when 
setup downloads files it stores the downloaded names in the setup.log or 
setup.log.full as well as the site name.
