I am presently copying the files to a portable USB drive that the

An alternative, if you have the space, is to keep a partition aside on
your hard drive for the ISO file, boot from the rescue disc, tell it to
install from the hard drive, aiming at the partition with the ISO file.
That's how I installed FC7 just a day or two ago.
The default installation makes both drives into one volume. The target
had Centos 4.5 installed that way and I just let F7 Live do the same.
But it's not a problem since I can sftp the files from this computer,
ftp and ssh always seem to work out of the box and I have already
extracted my favorite text editor from this box via ftp, "e3em," all 12k
of it!
