I think FC5 can do hard drive installs like prior versions.  Just put
the installation files into a directory on the partitions you're going
to keep, and use the "ask method" installation, so you can use those
files instead of installing from CD/DVD.  That's usually much quicker,
CDs aren't very quick, DVDs mayn't be quick either.
