My installations don't use optical media. Instead, I use the Anaconda 
option to mount the ISO images I have on the HD. I just need one CD to boot 
from, and it doesn't need packages, just enough stuff to find the HD and 
mount the ISO images.

I do this mainly for upgrades, but it also works when adding Fedora to a 
Windows system, and I expect that's the more common use case.
