You could try installing from hard disk if you have enough space -
copy the ISO images to the hard disk,
disassemble the first with "mount -o loop FC*disc1.iso /mnt"
then "cp -a /mnt/isolinux /boot"
add a stanza to /etc/grub.conf like
-----------------------------------
title FC-5 boot
root (hd0,1)
kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz
initrd /isolinux/initrd.img
-----------------------------------
and re-boot.
