The older boot.iso file is no longer included on the installation DVD
as of F-11, and has been supplanted by netinst.iso, which is
distributed at mirrors alongside the DVD image itself.

-			The Fedora installation CDs and DVD provide you with an image file, <filename>boot.iso</filename>, that you can burn to a CD and use to boot a system and start the installation process. Typically, you would do this prior to installing Fedora from a local hard drive or from a location on a network. You can now use the CD produced from the <filename>boot.iso</filename> image to start installation on a system that uses Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). CDs produced from older versions of <filename>boot.iso</filename> only worked with systems that used Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
