I'm in that situation with Fedora core 6.  I wanted to
try FC7 test 2, but it only had the DVD available, if
I read correctly.  I now plan to try FC7 test 3.  If
it's only DVD, I will do the same thing, install over
the network.  Only, I don't want to bring up an NFS
server just to install a test3 machine.  I was rather
hoping to do it using an ftp server.  (I have some experience
with ftp; absolutely none with NFS).
