Is this still possible? None of my pcs boot off of a usb stick and the

the disk. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Assuming that you have a separate /home partition, you can put the
.iso file in /home and add a boot entry to your grub config. If you
provide your partition layout, I could probably give you a working
config chunk to put there.
Isn't booting from the iso image, or mounting the image as a loopback
device and running the installer from the mount point, going to install
the new version from scratch rather than doing an upgrade, which would
then mean that he would have to remember everything additional he had
installed and reinstall them if indeed he can (taking into account
whether there is an upgrade available in F23 or not and whether F23 has
the necessary dependencies for whatever the package is)?

If you don't mind waiting a while for the upgrades to occur and you have
internet access, you could always install Fedup if it is not already
installed and run that to upgrade your system to the latest version of
Fedora. As I understand it that is the current recommended method of
system upgrading.
He said he was on F20 currently and that's too far to jump using fedup.
