You could try doing a pxe install.  Here are a couple of links that
describe the process.

And the download page for the images.

I used the lkrn image to try to install Rawhide (f24).  It worked fine
for getting the anaconda installer up and running twice, but
rawhide is so inconsistent that there were failed dependencies in the
installs I tried to download.  The installs are probably kickstarter
files.  When they failed, the wholed process aborted.  But, for a
release version, this should not be an issue, since everything is
stable and dependencies are met.

I did edit /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to put the BFO Boot entry after my
regular boot, instead of making it the default.

What I liked is it didn't require any media, just booting the lkrn file.
