Been there, done that, although from floppies. But I guess you could try
one of the following:

1) Try booting with: linux askmethod vnc from the first iso image.

2) The first Fedora CD contains image-directory which contains an
iso-image called boot.iso. Make a cd from that one and just boot with
linux vnc. It should ask what kind of install you wish to do.

What I did was to boot from two floppies but the reason for that was
that the machine I tried this on just don't boot from the cd.

Unfortunately this doesn't work with RHEL AS or ES. But I'm really
tempted to change that if I ever get time to read the source... ;)
