The method to perform a hard drive ISO install has changed somewhat for Fedora 10. In addition to copying the ISO images to a free partition on your system, you must also provide a install.img file. The installation program will not automatically use the images/install.img file located inside the ISO image. The procedure to continue using a network-less hard drive ISO install is described in the "repo=hd" section of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options Alternatively, users my choose to burn the images/boot.iso image and boot their system while specifying the command-line arguments: "repo=hd:<device>:<path_to_ISOs>
What I just did was ... 1) You must have a spare partition (not logical volume) of sufficient size to hold my ISO images. For my test, it's mount point was '/iso' 2) Copy the Fedora-10-ppc-DVD.iso into /iso/ 3) Extract the "install.img" file from the DVD into '/iso/images/install.img' $ mount -o loop /iso/dvd/Fedora-10-ppc-DVD.iso /mnt $ mkdir /iso/dvd/images $ cp -a /mnt/images/install.img /iso/dvd/images/ $ umount /mnt 4) Initiate install (boot from network, boot off of DVD, boot off of boot.iso) 5) Choose a language and keyboard 6) Select "Hard drive" +----+ Installation Method +----+ | | | What type of media contains | | the installation image? | | | | Local CD/DVD | | Hard drive | | NFS directory | | URL | | | | +----+ +------+ | | | OK | | Back | | | +----+ +------+ | | | | | +-------------------------------+ 7) Select the partition and directory containing the DVD iso +-------------------+ Select Partition +--------------------+ | | | What partition and directory on that partition holds | | the installation image for Fedora?

I made content changes including detailing how to extract install.img from isos. Pushed those up in commit 4787c12
