The documentation says the following:

harddrive
Install from a tree or full installation ISO image on a local hard drive. The tree or ISO image must be on a file system which is mountable in the installation environment. Supported file systems are ext2, ext3, ext4, vfat, or xfs.
Where did you find that documentation?  IIRC, an installation tree
hasn't been supported for a while now.  The hard drive must contain
the installation ISO.  The documentation may be out of date.
I started with the installation guide for F23
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/chap-kickstart-installations.html#sect-kickstart-file-create
Then I click on
Appendix A, Kickstart Syntax Reference
Then down to A.1.3

A harddrive option is listed
url with a file option as well

From what you are saying, the only way to do a custom install for a desktop computer is to use netinstall and use:

url --url http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/23/Everything/i386/os/
or similar.

Which is what I have been doing. There are advantages to downloading the packages first. ie. shorter install time and if power goes out then the backup power supply could last until the power comes back on.
