What I did is loop mount the DVD image, and did not bother to burn a
DVD. I used /var/www/html/Fedora as my mount point. Then when I was
doing the install, I let the installer configure the network, and told
it to use
http://192.168.1.9/Fedora to install from. You can ether boot
from the boot CD for this, or boot from a USB drive. I like using the
USB drive because I don't end up with so many CD's for installing old
versions. You will have to change 192.168.1.9 to the IP address of your
web server.
Way old thread, but I wanted to respond. Thanks everybody for your
suggestions, this is the solution that worked for me.
