I occationally load Fedora on systems which do not have DVD drivers.
I usually mount the DVD on a system with the DVD and then copy the
contents to an exported file system.

On the non-DVD machine I boot from the CD image and specify an
NFS install using the DVD image on the other machine.  Works fine
if you have "too-many" computers as do many of us on this list.

In theory, I believe you could export the DVD file system directly
for use with NFS.  I have never tried this myself.
