Hmmmm... You can do a harddisk install by copying all the CD ISO images
onto the harddisk. But you need to boot into the installer - or is there
a way to directly call anaconda? Maybe with slinky... And there should
be a possibility to boot into the installer via the network, but I don't
know how. Michael, any idea?

If your question is about the Red Hat installer, there is an
anaconda-list (or the like) among the Red Hat mailing lists.
