Writing from a laptop that was installed in this method, it is a nice way to go. It still takes a while, but at least it's not the full 6 cd's or one DVD.
The boot.iso image is around 8mb
In short, the way to do it is download the image from a fedora mirror. (found
here)
The boot.iso image is locate at */fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/images (where * is the location of the mirror).
Follow the instructions on the cd and select either a http or ftp install. For a http install it will ask for a fedora mirror location and then the location of the install files. For the location of the mirror enter the mirror address For the location of the install files, enter fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
As an example from a North America mirror:
The boot.iso image is found in
The mirror address would be:
The install files from this address would be:

If all goes well, it will download anaconda and then it is just like a cd fedora install.
