Maybe I missed the install option, but I didn't know this was possible!
I thought the install could only occur from CD or DVD media?

Far from it, you can install from CD, DVD, NFS, FTP and HTTP. Google for kickstart install media to see.
just pass the parameters
linux --url=http://location/to/install/from
and you're off and running :)
Not only that, but you can make a nice small (10Mb) iso image that you can use to boot from. Great for mounting virtual media in a Dell DRAC to launch a network install. Here's the docs on how to do it:

See section 2.4.2.
