no stephen.. i don't just need a kvm.... to look at the remote monitor...
i have a system with no cd drive... i need a way of installing FC3. i can
copy the isos to the system harddrive, and then what?
i wanted to be able to do this whole thing somewhat remotely, walking
through the Fedora/Anaconda install process.... for now, i'd settle with
being able to stick a boot floppy in, and somehoe pointing to the iso dirs
and starting the Fedora/Anaconda process that way.. although this would mean
i'd have to be at the server...

phill....
thanks for the followup/being patient... initially, i'd like
to be able to
walk through the entire process from a remote system. thus
the need for/use
of vnc.
i was hoping that i could somehow reboot the remote server,
and have vnc pop
up on my server/vnc window, allowing me to select the various
attributes of
the remote Fedora install on the remote machine...
this would allow me to be able to do a manual remote install
of Fedora,
using VNc..
the reason i wanted to do this, is to allow me to check out the drive
configuration, and to determine what apps i wanted to select at the
beginning...
While I haven't tested remote installs this way, I'd be willing to bet
it's possible, but this is _not_ kickstart. I think you get this point
now, but kickstart is for fully-automating installs. It doesn't mean
you can't monitor an install, but it sounds like all you really need is
a network-capable KVM so you can look at a remote console.
Regards,
Steve
