I got something like this;
as far as I could see, anaconda was looking for install.img
rather than the ISO file.
It seemed as though the ISO file had been dis-assembled.

I guess you could try installing the FC11 Live CD on a USB stick.
(I did that on an EeePC 4G with FC10, using unetbootin .)

I see I made a note at the time:
"The secret seems to be that one must press Esc
when re-booting the EeePC,
rather than going into the BIOS to alter the boot devices".
