i think there is no need of network connection for software installtion/removal.
What you need is a source of packages--this could be a CD or DVD--or an internet site.
Take a look at /etc/yum.repos.d Here you will find a file for every location that Yum uses to look for packages. If there is an http or ftp address anywhere, then it will complain if there is no internet connection.
For more than you ever wanted to know:
man yum
man yum.conf (This one tells all about how to set up the URIs in yum.repos.d)
but in previous versions of fedora, redhat. when software(gnorpm, redhat-config-packages, system-config-packages),
not using yum, all they prompts for CD/DVD, and if required disk is in CDROM you can install it easily.

YES--and that is because the YUM** configuration files TELL THEM to do that!!
Look at the files and it should be obvious where your installation is looking for packages. Please tell us what you find.....
**Edit: Not the YUM config files---whatever files go with the commands you were using. I was going too fast....
If you are using YUM now, then we need to look at YUM config files
