  Hello there,
   For the second, I tried the same, and it said the directory did not
contain a Fedora installation. So I read the README, which says to
unpack the iso files. I really don't think I did that the first time,
but never mind. Done. The installation started, then complained there
was no 'repomd' information. So I copied that as well - but if it is
needed it should be in the README.

  Which is correct? Am I dreaming that unpacking the ISO was not needed?

For ftp install I copied each iso to the same folder, created subfolders named
fc5/disc1 disc2 disc3 disc4 disc5, and then mount -o loop each one.

In the ftp install you get asked the ftp server address, and the folder containing the install.
In the folder path you put the path fc5 folder name.
The installer first guesses you have the whole (dvd) tree there, but when it doesn't find the whole thing there it also tries the /disc1 etc path, at the same folder level. This can be seen be going to the ctrl-alt-F3 or F4 terminals, as it tries it.

I have never tried an nfs install, so it may be different. Make sure the nfs is shared with appropriate rights!
