yes you can
get a rh7.3 boot disk
you can make a boot disk using rawrite or in linux using dd
now boot from the floppy
and install from the harddisk

I meant the boot disk for installation,which could be made through the boot.img image(using dd or rawrite).After that boot from the floppy.You should know the partition containing the iso images (let's say it is hda6) ,then after booting choose harddisk not cdrom as the installed medium(you will be asked for such).Enter the partition where iso images are located,and your installation starts.
You can also read the Readme files in the 1st cd to understand what you have to do.You can loopback mount a cdrom in linux using the command
mount -t iso9660 -o loop <isofilename> <where you want to mount the iso image ex./mnt/cdrom>
