The redhat documentation would probably cover this: http://www.redhat.com/docs
(look at the docs for Red Hat Enterprise linux, as it is based on Fedora Core)

but setting up a network installserver and using it is really easy...
do the following:
decide how you wish to install (http, ftp or nfs)
copy the 'Fedora' directory from all of your CDs to a directory on your 
install server (I use /var/ftp/pub) - making sure that you copy the Fedora 
directory as well as its contents.
share the directory *containing* the 'Fedora' directory by you chosen method
(in my case /var/ftp/pub is shared both by NFS and ftp)
boot from CD1 and type
linux askmethod
choose the correct installation method when prompted
...and Bob's your uncle (as my parents used to say)

if you want to do a *graphical* install over a network you'll need to use NFS 
as neither FTP nor HTTP installations support this method
