There is also a way to put the diskboot.img (I think thats the right
file) on your HD along with the ISO images. I don't remember exactly
how but you then edit grub to boot off of the diskboot.img (or
whichever the correct file is). This should get you an environment
from which you can choose to do a HD (or network) install.

Enjoy your beer!
