It can be done. Copy the files vmlinuz and initrd.img from the
isolinux directory on CD1 of Fedora Core into /boot on the RH8 box.
Modify the /boot/grub/grub.conf so that it has the following stanza in
it:
title Install FC
kernel /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
Then reboot your RH8 machine. You will get a menu choice at tge GRUB
menu to install FC. Choose that, and the installer will start. You
can point it to a network resource (NFS, http, ftp, whatever you set
up) and go to town.
Hope this helps.
