It allows you to boot a small image and then the rest of the install is done over the network. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-which-files.html Another suggestion might be for you to re-spin your own minimal server based version of Fedora. I seriously doubt there is enough demand in the community to warrant the creation of a specific server install version of Fedora especially since there are other options to achieve the same goal.
