Installing RedHat linux directly from the iso's saved in your hard disk

I came across an article which described how to install RedHat linux directly from the ISO's saved in your hard drive skipping the need to burn them on to a CD. The advantage of this method of installation is that, it is blazingly fast and the installation can be finished in a fraction of what it takes normally to install by booting from a CD or DVD.

But there is a catch though - this method works only if the filesystem on your hard disk is eaither of the following - FAT, ext2, ext3. If you have a file system other than those three, like resierfs, then you are out of luck. Also this method is specific to RedHat linux distribution.

You can also find a different method explained at LinuxQuestions.org.
