Not too long ago someone posted a response to a way you could mount the
dvd image and extract the installation kernel as a choice within grub.
You put the vmlinuz and initrd.img from the install media and add an
entry in grub to boot the installation.
I cannot find the posting from the archive but it should be there somewhere.
Maybe we need "super beagle" as a search engine for the fedora user list
archives. :-)
I'll change the subject to get attention from the person that had the
solution.
