In the ftp install you get asked the ftp server address, and the folder
containing the install.
In the folder path you put the path fc5 folder name.
The installer first guesses you have the whole (dvd) tree there, but
when it doesn't find the whole thing there it also tries the /disc1 etc
path, at the same folder level.
This can be seen be going to the ctrl-alt-F3 or F4 terminals, as it
tries it.
With the nfs install, you just need to have the appropriate ISO's (1-5
in this case I think) in the same directory, with NO OTHER ISO's. As in
iso 1 thru 5 in the same dir. And make sure it's setup to be nfs shared
(via exports file and such). Just burn a copy of the image/boot.iso, or
cd #1 or whatever, boot, at the prompt type 'linux askmethod' and away
you go.
There is no need to unpack the ISO's at all.
