That sounds great. Unfortunately it still requires a CD or a floppy drive to
install, which borks the entire thing.

At least Fedora offers a supposed option to install Fedora off the network completely, as long as the hardware supports diskless booting off the network (PXEBOOT).

I've never used this particular method, so I can't say more than it allegedly exists, and what you want is apparently doable.
