If you can install from the network, you could use a bfo install.
https://boot.fedoraproject.org/
It downloads everything needed in real time, and installs it. I did a
minimal install, and then upgraded it using the fedora repositories
once it was live.
I encountered some problems with timeouts because of a slow connection,
but I think those are fixed now. Once it starts, it's just like
installing from media.
A long time ago, I remember putting an ISO on the hard drive and using
it to install from, but I've forgotten exactly how I did it. I
think I used kickstart, and pointed to the ISO.
