help with network installation

[Simon Tierney]

My laptop hard drive died.  The dvd-etc drive had been generatinb I/O errors
for some time and i don't want to buy a new one in case it is a motherboard
problem.

I have a new hard drive and I am not sure if my bios will recognise a usb
flashdrive to boot.

The bios has a vrsion of pxe.

i can't fins a definitiver version on the fedora site of how I could install
over a network (may be my fault) -is it possible to install over the
internet?

Any help appreciated.
