This is possible but you'll need to have the ISO images stored on a
partition of your hard disk that is not changed in any way during the
installation, and that partition must be readable by the installer.

See:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-
install-guide/s1-steps-hd-install.html
and:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-
install-guide/s1-begininstall-hd.html

(note that the documents are for Red Hat Enterprise Linux but Fedora
works the same way)

What OS do you currently have on your system, does your system have any
unpartitioned space, and which bootloader are you using?
