You setup exported directory on another machine where you leave the iso and
then boot and run net install.

- Export a NFS dir.
- Place the Fedora dvd image in the exported directory.
- Check the permissions.
- Extract, burn and boot from boot.iso inside the fedora dvd image.
- Use the ‘linux text’ and ‘linux askmethod’ parameters.
- Choose the NFS option and fill-in the server and directory fields.
