Versions prior to FC17, using the "askmethod" worked very well.
Started up the machine with the netinstall CD and typed at the prompt:
boot: linux askmethod. After you choose the media source (if NFS)
anaconda was already loaded on the remote machine (I think) and I
could eject the CD and to install another machine. In FC17'm using:
boot: linux repo = nfs: 192.168.1.1 :/ fedora. It works, but can not
remove the media from the CD / DVD, which is too bad because 30 medias
need installation.
Thanks
The other possibility is to create a bootable USB flash drive from the
network install CD iso. This worked for my Netbook that doesn't have a
DVD/CD drive. Take a look at either unetbootin or liveUSBcreator to
create the required USB flash drive, as these provide the easiest
methods for doing so..
