Thanks Tobias & others for your support. I really appreciate !! Once networking step fails , installation cannot continue...(Since packages download is impossible")
Focus on address resolution is just to mention that network card works , has an IP & some basic services are working? I will try the hack with # touch /tmp/installer-assume-online Thanks for sharing.... If it does not work I will try to another ISO , no problem..
