This worked fine for me using the x86_64 DVD. In fact my Athlon 3500+
tore right through the installation in record time (about 25 minutes)
compared to my Pentium 4 machines. I try to use NFS for all my installs
because they finish quickly. And changing CDs gets old fast when I have
other things to do.
I've also done FC2 installs using VNC. I've forgotten the magic
incantation needed to get a vnc install going. Look at the Release Notes
for Fedora Core 2 -- it documents how to do it. I'm sure it also works
for FC3.
