That is new on Fedora 22 (workstation have a netinstaller), what is the
main differences ? is just what install by default ? or have more
differences ?

Sorry I don't had much time to focus on this subject but I think this is
a good opportunity to talk about this question in ask : 
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/24929/how-to-boot-fedora-18-in-rescue-mode-using-a-livecd/?answer=63696#post-id-63696

netinstall iso also have the rescue mode, so state clearly that live cd
don't have rescue mode, how make a usb stick with an rescue mode, where
we can find netinstall to make it, etc . 
Another confusing thing is https://torrents.fedoraproject.org/ not have
the netinstallers.

So, I think, footer of web page of https://getfedora.org/ lacks of a
link to netinstaller and IMO we should have page just for
netinstallers .
