After installing fedora at work a while ago all I did was to  
configure some remote sites to suck the files from. So I did the base  
install over network but any additional files it grabbed over the  
Internet.

Also really handy to update the system after the base install to make  
sure your up to date with security and stuff.

Never had any problems just besides the fact that I don't like redhat  
in general.
