hi sorry for replying this late but my exams were going on..
anyway what you want is possible provided you have a lot of free disk
space...above 8 gb...4.3 for image of the DVD and rest for installation...
To create a iso image of DVD
dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.iso <if your current OS is linux>
check this link

if you are on windows use any available software for iso image
creation. copy this image to your hard disk...

now visit this link to know install using this image..

since i havent done it myself so i wont be able to elaborate but still
you can always ask in case of any problem..

BTW is that core 3 DVD final release or some beta
