In the past, I have extracted the DVD iso file to an FTP server, and then burn the boot.iso from the images directory to a CD. But the images directory of Fedora11 doesn't have a boot.iso, but the README file mentions it. There are a number of .img files, but those are not iso images?
Is the file missing, or is there a method to convert the img files to iso file?

You can make your own boot.iso.
mount the dvd image, copy the isolinux dir to a dir in you computer and execute this:
/usr/bin/mkisofs -o boot.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -R -J -V -T isolinux/
the result will be a boot.iso filename (as noted in the command).

It's only in the Fedora directory, not the Everything directory. (It used to be in Everything and I'm not sure why this changed.) And it's called Fedora-11-i386-netinst.iso. boot.iso is used for rawhide.

Thanks for the info. I am currently doing an install with the netinst.iso cd. I used the method=ftp://202.128.73.28/pub/Fedora11 as I had used with version 10 before, and it seems to be working. Not sure it it would have prompted or not. The Fedora10 required it.

I was wrong about it moving. When I checked my scripts more carefully I found that I had been expecting it to only be in the Fedora directory, so it's been that way for a while.
