Installing Fedora without a CDROM

[Ted Q]

Hi,

I am a hopeful-Windows-convert-to-Fedora, and want to install Fedora onto my laptop.  My CDROM drive is broken, but want to install it anyways, without having to pay the incredible $$$ required for getting a replacement drive ($400?!).  

Can anyone tell me how to create a bootable floppy disk (1.44"?), from which i can run the installer and install the entire distro over the internet?  Or at least off of a usb or external cd drive? Is this even possible?  (installation over the internet is most ideal for me). Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Ted
