I have a "spare" one that stays between installs for such things. Another option is post installation, you make your install space holding the ISO the /tmp partition. > They're making 4GB USB disks for less than USD 40 for crying out > loud...unless you live in Australia I suppose. :-) I don't think I've actually seen one larger than 2 gigs, here, yet. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
