installing remotely

[Tom Moore]

If my memory serves me right the instructions are:
At the boot prompt once you put the cd in the drive type:
Text telnet ksdev=/dev/eth0 ip=www.xxx.yyy.zzz netmask=www.xxx.yyy.zzz
gateway=www.xxx.yyy.zzz
/dev/eth0 being the first network card in the machine that Fedora detects.
I believe you can use dhcp as well, but if you do that then you'll have to
hunt around for the machine to see what ip it was given by the dhcp server
so when I do an install like this I can always know where the machine is.

I've seen references on thist occasionally on either using telnet or a 
"serial console" to install from another machine.  What do I type at the 
first prompt to do this?
I run an i r l p ham radio Linux box and have done four of these, but 
always needed sighted help to do the initial install.  Once I get up and 
running I can use my windows machine witha terminal program and winscp to 
do what I need.  Hoping there is a way to do this without sighted help.
