Yes, but that's not quite the way it works.

I don't usually install like that so this may not be write but ...

Download the boot.iso (7.9 MB) from say
http://redhat.pacific.net.au/fedora/6/i386/os/images/

Burn to cd.
Boot from cd.
Follow the install prompts and specify FTP or HTTP as install method.
You will need to give a location for the FTP or HTTP repo.
I can't remember what it takes but is likely something like
http://redhat.pacific.net.au/fedora/6/i386/os/

The rest is up to you specify what you want in the install.
