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.

Is there a way to put the dvd image file or directory of CD iso images
on a USB external flash or hard drive, boot from something else (perhaps
another USB flash drive with the boot image copied to it) and install
from those image copies?

"linux askmethod" should work.
