Actually there is a way you can install Fedora core without a boot CD or a
boot USB device.
First you will need a copy of the boot.iso.
then mount it
(as root)
mount -o loop boot.iso /mnt
(snip)
This is indeed a useful method but it only works if you can boot into a
Linux environment in the first place (e.g. using an existing
installation); it doesn't help a first-time installer (but then neither
did my earlier suggestion of doing an NFS install).
