I would think booting off the boot.iso and doing the netowrk install
should work (never tired it)

No updates yet - so 1. above won't fix your problem.

Well something that wasn't mentioned yet is - using knoppix to boot up
the machine (presumably this can get the network working) - and
transfer the required rpm files - and downgrade. Maybe the the fedora
install disk can also do this in the recovery mode..
