FC3 for x86_64?

[Janina Sajka]

Yes, Chris. That's precisely how you do it.

Here's an example which supplies the static address 192.168.1.11 to the
machine where FC is to be installed using that machines second ethernet
device:

At the boot> prompt you would type something like:

text telnet ip=192.168.1.11 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.254
ksdevice=/dev/eth1

Obviously, this goes on one line and needs to be adjusted for local
circumstances.

PS: You can also add this syntax in advance when booting from a USB
stick. Just insert it all in the kernel arguments in the proper stanza
of syslinux.cfg, and change the top line to say "default text"
