  This works for me

  a) Prepare drive with what we need

       (i)
	  cd /path/to/dvd
          mkdir /mnt/tmp
          mount -o loop /mnt/tmp foo-dvd.iso
          rsync -av /mnt/tmp/images .
          rsync -av /mnt/tmp/isolinux .

       (ii) Booting install from grub

            mkdir /boot/f11
            cp isolinux/vmlinuz isolinux/initrd.imf /boot/f11

            Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to add new entry (adjust the root
to be same as your other lines)

            	title Fedora 11 Install
        	root xxx
        	kernel /boot/f11/vmlinuz
        	initrd /boot/f11/initrd.img

  Now just boot and choose the fedora 11 line.

  good luck
