use method hard drive.
you need to put the .iso image on a partition that you wont be formatting.
then the installer asks you which partition, and the folder {from memory}.
That works. Or:
* Put the ISO on another machine, and install via NFS (fastest), HTTP
or FTP. Properly set up, this works very nicely with kickstart.
* Buy a USB clam shell and put a DVD drive in it. Yes, I know, we're
all allergic to spending money. I even used this trick to install on
my ancient laptop with USB 1.1 on it. Slow but it works.
Is there a way to put the dvd image file or directory of CD iso images
on a USB external flash or hard drive, boot from something else (perhaps
another USB flash drive with the boot image copied to it) and install
from those image copies?
