Its really very handy if you already have some version of linux on the
system and you want to install a new one. You can mount the iso image,
get the vmlinux and initrd for the installer off it and make a new
grub entry to boot them, then reboot and choose install from hard
disk, pointing at the iso you just had mounted. No need to crawl under
your desk to get to the DVD drive (or no need for a DVD drive if you are
installing on a system with only a CD). I always do my next new
version of fedora installs this way.
