I have some questions about installing fedora via http.

yes. When I did a clean-install of FC5, I opted for a "minimal" install,
then used yum to install everything else, IIRC.
On FC6 it was more finicky, and kept failing until I just went with the
default configuration (open office, etc).
Once you have a terminal, several yum repo's will be already installed,
enough to get you going.
You can do a http (or ftp) install from the rescue cd, by the way, which
is what I've used so far (that way I have a rescue-cd).
