Can anyone report success please?
What you probably don't realize is that they have changed the way installs work (for your convenience :-).
This worked for me (using the cryptically terse instructions from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options)
I already had fedora 8, and I had a downloaded DVD iso image for fedora 10, so sitting in the directory with the ISO file (which for me was /backup/iso-images/Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD/) I did this:
mount -o loop Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt mkdir /boot/x86_64 cp /mnt/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/x86_64 cp /mnt/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot/x86_64 mkdir images cp /mnt/images/install.img images
The convenient change is the need to have the install.img file in the images subdir right next to the iso image file (and I seem to recall someone saying there needs to be no other iso image files in that directory).
Then I made a /boot/grub/grub.conf entry that looked like:
title Install Fedora 10 x86_64 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/x86_64/vmlinuz noselinux asknetwork repo=hd:/dev/sdc5:/iso-images/Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD initrd /boot/x86_64/initrd.img
(where /dev/sdc5 is the partition corresponding to what I have mounted at /backup).
Then I booted the system and picked the Install Fedora 10 x86_64 option, and Shazam! I'm running anaconda and installing from the iso image without ever involving any CD or DVD media at all.
