Thanks! So, can a 64-bit install be done from the USB....because one of
my
machines only has an external DVD-R....
I don't know about x86_64, but it works nicely on x86. If the machine
won't boot to external USB, you can burn the boot image on the DVD to
a CD, and boot to that. It will detect and use the USB DVD.
Sorry, but what does a USB DVD mean?
Sorry, I assumed from your comment above that your external DVD-R was
USB. Anyway, Anaconda usually uses the same kernel version as the
kernel to be installed, so anything the regular kernel can use
Anaconda should be able to use.

Looking at stuff, it appears that there is a boot.img for x86_64 for
usb -- however, this file is exactly the same as for i386. I don't
know much (anything) about these files, but shouldn't the files
actually be different....
I don't know why you need a 64 bit Anaconda; I should think a 32 bit
Anaconda would do just fine. But I'm no expert here. Maybe someone
will correct me.

Did you read the README in /images?

Or consider installing over your network. I do all my installs over
NFS these days. It's much faster.

I'd like to do this. I tried this with a 32-bit machine some time ago, but
was
unable to get far. I think the problem was when I put in the URL (as per FC
instructions) it would come back and keep asking for the URL. I could also
not
do it from the HDD for the same reason. Are there more detailed
instructions
somewhere? Is the process the same for 64-bit? I have both kinds of
machines....Can someone please provide me with instructions for a 64-bit
machine?

Is http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/

enough to get started?

I could not get this to work for FC6 with the results mentioned above....but
will try again...many thanks!
