It's simple if you can boot from a USB stick.
(In my experience installing Fedora-12 in this way
is much easier than any previous version of Fedora).

But the question is: can one install from the stick in some way
if the machine does _not_ support booting from it?
The suggestion was that one should copy vmlinuz and initrd
from the stick to the hard disk,
and add a stanza to grub.conf to boot from this.
My question is: would clicking on "Copy to hard disk" at that point
look at the USB stick for the data to copy?

I should really try this instead of talking about it -
but I have already installed Fedora-12 on this machine by PXEboot.
