I did not think it, I just tried. BTW a generic RH/Fedora boot
installer would also be nice that can install regardless of the
version of the installation tree if {RedHat|Fedora}/RPMS directory is found.

The real problem is that FC2 installation kernel reboots.

No, I wanted a clean install. If that does not work, that's a regression.
That's why fedora-devel list exists, isn't it? For developing and
reporting problems with the development versions...
fedora-test list is for testing the stable OS version.
I have already pulled the full tree of FC2 and
update it regularly with rsync. I want to install it
through the network on this particular machine which
does not have CD-ROM but has a nice PXE boot rom.

FC1 works on that machine, thank you. That was out of question.
