ummmm ... AFAIK it is possible to install from the ISO images. The ISO
images can be on the local hard disk or on a remote FTP server.

However, even for this, you will need to have a boot disk containing
the initial boot image and the initrd. Once you boot up and the
anaconda starts, it'll prompt you for the install method - where you
can select that you want to install from local ISO images.
