It's possible to install with telnet on a machine half way around the world, if you can organize such a thing. In fact this is how I install Fedora on our SpeakupModified.Org server, which I have never touched and will never visit, because it is housed thousands of miles away from me at a data center. If your reference to your DSL modem means you're thinking of using a remote rpm repository as the source of installation media, this is, of course, possible. However, it may not be wise. Connections are all too frequently interrupted on the Internet, and even a short, two second interruption can demolish your installation. Before you attempt such a thing, consider how you will recover should something go wrong. In fact what I have just described happened to me while we moved our server from FC6 to F-7. It took me over a week to restore all the data to the remote machine. If you absolutely must install using a remote repository, my advice is to install the minimum of packages in order to minimize your exposure to an installation crash. You can always yum groupinstall the remaining packages you want later with much more safety. Unfortunately for me, even this bit of wisdom could not help in my little installation disaster, because my crash occured before any packages were installed--but after disk formatting--the worst time, actually. What to type is explained in our on line documents: http://SpeakupModified.Org/HOWO_INSTALL.html http://SpeakupMOdified.Org/telnet_installation.html Good luck!
