in fact i want to setup a hard disk say hdc which i just put into a computer and boot the computer from that hard disk and start the linux installation, the newly installed system will reside on the hard disk say hda of that computer. very same way like i put the first installation cd in any computer, boot that computer from this cd and start the installation, and the newly installed system then resides on the hard disk of that omputer.
mean i dont want a full linux system installed on that hdc instead i want that hdc to be bootable like FC3 first installation cd and then to start installation from that hdc.

This is possible but you'll need to have the ISO images stored on a
partition of your hard disk that is not changed in any way during the
installation, and that partition must be readable by the installer.

See:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-
install-guide/s1-steps-hd-install.html
and:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-
install-guide/s1-begininstall-hd.html

(note that the documents are for Red Hat Enterprise Linux but Fedora
works the same way)

What OS do you currently have on your system, does your system have any
unpartitioned space, and which bootloader are you using?

Paul.
