file rather than the live usb iso, and also have the DVD iso on the
usbkey as well, and then boot to netinst.iso and add a kernel line
parameter of the form repo=hd:device:path-to-iso where the path-to-iso
points at the DVD iso.
Here "device" might be /dev/sda2 for the usb key or whatever is
relevant to your machine and the path is relative to the root of the
usbkey.
I have not tried it with usbkeys for f16 but it is worth a shot - once
the install is in progress make sure you don't miss the bootloader
section and make sure that you carefully check or set that it will be
written to the hard drive and not the usbkey...... you may need to
switch the bios drive order when you get to that screen in the install
process.
