Installing Fedora 9 Via Telnet

[Earle]

Ok, I want to make sure I understand what you mean exactly.  Are you saying, hit escape after the disk spins and then 
enter the telnet command?  When do you mean I should be using dot rather than underscore, at what point does that apply?

Thanks

Short answer ...

Things have changed.

Down arrow, etc no longer relevant.

Hit escape.

Use dot rather than underscore, i.e. '.' rather than '_'
This also applies in grub.conf when your installation finishes.
