and change the bios settings to boot from the USB drive?

Can I put the DVD iso file on my hard drive and install from there?

You can install from a USB drive you need expert mode to see the USB devices
at boot.

Alternatively, you can put the DVD image in a filesystem that will not be
updated during the install/upgrade process. You still need to boot from the
boot.iso or ore of the other images in the image directory on the DVD image.
Booting from the rescue CD should also work. At the boot prompt respond "
linux askmethod"

OK, I loaded the DVD disk contents to the USB hard drive. But I'm
wondinger if I should be copying the iso file itself. When I boot the
DVD iso file, I eventually get to a menu that includes /dev/sda1 and
asks for a directory holding "images". I've tried putting several things
here (like "images") but it reports "Failed to read
directory /tmp/hdimage/images: No such file or directory."
