Hrmm,
I suppose it is possible. You should be installing from the directory 
containing rpms from the initial release. I'd imagine that directory on 
any mirror should be the same and contain the entire distro.

The log left as /root/install_log when the install is complete should 
have details about the rpm install process and what went wrong.
You can view it from vt2 before rebooting, or after rebooting, as long as 
enough rpms installed to let the system boot.
