oops - how to install?

[roj]

hello,
I just got a new computer...
unfortunately, it does not have CD or DVD (i ordered it separately, and it should come in quite a long time.)
is it possible to some how install fedora 9 or fedora 10 without having a CD ROM or DVD?
all I have is vista installed and a USB socket. i could not find an ubuntu type of installer like wubi for fedora. wireless is working fine on vista. i was thinking of a usb flash type of installation, but could not find an appropriate image in Get Fedora page (and i would have to get a usb flash drive which you can boot from...)

also, any idea if i should go for fedora 10 pre-release installation or fedora 9 installation? i want to be able to upgrade to fedora 10 easily, which i understand is due to be released in about a month.

thanks.
roj.

How about exploring the possibility of a network install?

do you know of a link that shows how to do that?
I could not find it in http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/
thanks.

mmm.. I looked at it. I am not sure -- is it possible to do it with Vista? I get the feeling I would still need a CD to boot linux somehow.

You can use unetbootin to create a bootable CD from the ISO file that you download to your Vista installation. Doing it with the full DVD didn't work for me, but using a Live CD did.

I've only done it while running unetbootin on a Linux installation, but it also works in Windows.
