You could also try using the install CD through a serial console, as this is meant to work with USB to serial devices (and I assume other serial devices not built in). I remember when I wanted to look at freebsd as an OS, I was able to install that in such a way (it was just a shame that whenever it tried to use the network card it crashed the machine). I don't know if the Fedora installation kernel has serial console support, hopefully it would.
