In the FWIW department, I do the same thing you mention below except
that I start with the emergency repair disk. It give you to option to
install (GUI and text) and I just do the NFS install from there...it
works great!

Subject: Re: is there a way to get CD isos of Fedora 7?
here is how you can install Fedora without a DVD player...
Download the FC7 DVD iso.... extract the boot.iso from the DVD
iso... (use your tools of choice)
Create an nfs share on another system and put the FC7 DVD iso
in that share.
Burn the boot.iso to a cdrom
boot the system you want to install FC7 on from the cd with
the boot.iso image.
When you are asked how you want to install choose "NFS share"
Enter the ip address and directory name... and voila...
network install of FEDORA and you did not have to expand the
ISO to do it.
Pretty cool!

You can install f7 from the Fedora 7 Live CD.

You can use the option install from HD too, copy the .iso to
certain
folder, eg. /f7 copy the isolinux folder from the .iso to /f7 too, boot
with grub and use the kernel at /f7/isolinux to boot. For detail I'm
already posting about this at another day ;-)
