use method hard drive.
you need to put the .iso image on a partition that you wont be formatting.

then the installer asks you which partition, and the folder {from memory}.

That works. Or:

* Put the ISO on another machine, and install via NFS (fastest), HTTP
or FTP. Properly set up, this works very nicely with kickstart.

* Buy a USB clam shell and put a DVD drive in it. Yes, I know, we're
all allergic to spending money. I even used this trick to install on
my ancient laptop with USB 1.1 on it. Slow but it works.

* Use a live CD to install, then use the network to go from there, via
either a local or a remote repository.
