E.g. here:

Then install with the "askmethod" option (easiest, it seems to me).
Thanks! The Fedora wiki isn't very specific (just mentions rawhide).
It would make more sense if boot.iso were with the other ISO files,
but
it's not.
No doubt!

Yes, that one, more or less. I think I had to futz around with it a bit
to get it to work, but eventually it did.
I ended up using this:

It seems very similar to what you described.
BTW, it makes for a much faster install than from DVD, so if you have
a
few machines to do, it's a nice method, even if they do have a DVD
drive---though the fastest, in my experience, is NFS.
Yeah, it was extremely fast! The result was less than spectacular,
though (I wrote about it in another post), but that, I think, had
nothing to do with the install method.
