There's not much setting up involved with doing an http/ftp install. 
Just remember to write down the address of a near by fedora mirror (http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html) and
the path to the os directory before you start, ie.

http://redhat.secsup.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/  (or whatever architecture you have).

What I like about this install method is I don't waste blank CDs
and I don't have to monitor the install and swap CDs when prompted.  I can start the process before going to bed, and it'll be done
installing in the morning.  I haven't burned an ISO since FC3.

Also, I really hate CDs and I can't wait for the world to move on from this technology.
