I checked the sources of the installer in svn[*] and, no, it doesn't use wget.
There's a function http_download_file in url.c and it uses mygethostbyname
in dns.c to resolve names.
That's where the message "unknown host" comes from, and I have a hunch that the problem
lies there.
Btw, I tried also with the 32 bits boot.iso and the result is the same.
Note also that a couple years ago I managed to do a network install of mandriva 
(IIRC 2010.0, or maybe 2009, I'm not really sure) on another pc.


[*]so maybe they're not exactly the same of the boot.iso I downloaded, though dns.c
hasn't been modified in 10 months.
