Detail

So I have mounted the ISO on my workstation and using VMware Remote Console to mount the ISO for the SO install to use. The SO disc boots up just fine, goes to the graphical menu to setup the hostname, username, NIC, etc.
For selection #3 though, I keep getting [!] Installation Source (Error setting up software source) and #4 [!] Software Selection (Error checking software selection).

I have tried both the CD/DVD and "local ISO file" as options for #3 and neither seem to work at all. I thought that maybe since the software ISO was so large at 12.3gb, it might just need to read the data faster, so I added it to the VMware Storage Array and mounted it from VMware to no longer try to install from my workstation, but from the SAN. Same issues as before. I have zero idea why this is occurring, as other ISO images are able to mount just fine and without issues at all on the installation.

Any help is appreciated.

I found that somehow my download had been truncated so I wasn't using the full download, yet somehow it was still running partly.
