Bingo! I just tried the experiment and it worked fine
just pointing to the iso image directory even with no
images subdir. (I'm glad I don't need to copy out images
any more, but I bet I won't be the last confused by this).

The install worked, though I haven't tried actually booting
it yet. A couple of impressions from the install:

Congratulations! You either finally disabled the screen
blanking during anaconda, or the install runs so fast that
the screen never got around to blanking itself.

Anaconda resizing itself to fill a 46 inch 1920x1080 HD TV
screen is a bit disconcerting. I think I liked the old
version where it just drew a small window in the middle
of the giant screen.
