That is odd. Because, the ISO will give you the option of 
choosing "Local CD/DVD" when it asks you "What type of media contains 
the installation image?"

Ah well, entering this URL:

http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/i386/os/

as the URL for the installation image seems to be working now.  A bit 
slow, but it seems to be working. :)
