Installing DVD iso

[Robert L Cochran]

Right, and you can install over NFS: put the iso image in a directory on 
a different Linux machine, export that directory over NFS, and then use 
the rescue CD to start the installation with. Specify "NFS image" as the 
installation type when you come to that screen.

You can do it over ftp too. I haven't done an ftp install in a while 
though.

You can also do it over VNC. I've only done that once and with an early 
version of Fedora Core, probably 2 or 3. VNC-based installs seems 
unnecssarily complicated to me.

Why bother burning DVD media, if you can do it over the network or on a 
hard drive they way Jeff suggests?

Thanks
