Clearly I am being misunderstood. I am interested in installing f8 on a machine without a DVD drive. I know there are NFS installs I would rather avoid that.
I don't see where you are misunderstood. You asked whether the Live CD/DVD's are installable and the answer yes and has been from the Fedora 7 release onwards. All the different variants and spins of Fedora have this capability.
My impression is that it is actually easier with F-8 than it was with F-7.
I installed F-8 KDE Live CD on a USB stick, and when I booted with this, I was asked if I wanted to install F-8; when I answered yes I was able to install from the hard disk (where I had the DVD ISO).
I wasn't asked this question when I booted F-7 from a USB stick.
