Seems a bit too small for updates?
Can you give me a link where it is?

Thanks!

The boot.iso media that Mike Chambers suggested allows a network install via http or ftp which updates packages with the latest versions available initially. You are actually only booting the computer, connecting to the network, selecting either ftp or http installation, entering mirror information. You still would need to pull in updates as they arrive post-install. You would be testing the latest fixes (or breakages) for anaconda.

One drawback is that the boot.iso changes every day and you must make a new boot.iso from whatever is current at the time. (Stage 2 is off of the network and stage is off the boot.iso. You should use rewritable media since the life cycle for the boot.iso is so short.

Since you are seeing so many failures with the FC5T3 test media, using the ftp/http install from the most current packages might work out better for you. You can also report any regressions from previous installers if you find any.

Somehow your message content is getting placed below the signature for messages that you reply to. This causes your message to be trimmed from the reply by others. (Seamonkey mailer anyway.)
