E.g. here: 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os/images/. 
Then install with the "askmethod" option (easiest, it seems to me).

It would make more sense if boot.iso were with the other ISO files, but 
it's not.

Yes, that one, more or less. I think I had to futz around with it a bit 
to get it to work, but eventually it did.

BTW, it makes for a much faster install than from DVD, so if you have a 
few machines to do, it's a nice method, even if they do have a DVD 
drive---though the fastest, in my experience, is NFS.
