FC6 does have CD ISOs for installation. F7 does not.  The best way to 
handle doing an F7 install without a DVD drive is to download the DVD 
via bittorent, burn the rescue ISO to CD and either do a disk based 
install with the DVD ISO image, make the DVD image available vie 
NFS/HTTP/FTP or do the install with one of the F7 mirrors (not 
particularly recommended if you have a slow or unreliable link.)

I'll be glad to help you offline with this, since I've done several 
installs/upgrades this way the last week or so.
