Paul, I didn't keep the link, but when I was trying to do something like 
this, I searched google and came up with a link that showed me:

1> How to copy the DVD image to a directory on the server.
2> How to prepare a kickstart file to bypass all questions.
3> How to modify the grub.conf so that it automatically runs the 
installer from that image. Apparently, if you set everything up 
correctly, simply rebooting the PC will install FC2.

I didn't end up doing it that way, but when I was reading it, it didn't 
seem too hard. Have you tried searching google?
