telnet install of speakupified warewolf

[Don Raikes]

Hello,

I downloaded the speakupified warewolf dvd image and created a dvd from it just fine.

Now I want to perform a telnet install because my dectalk express has died.

I know the mac address of the network card in my desktop system, and I have a windows system available to use to perform the install.

My question is:
if I enter:
text telnet ksdevice=00:11:11:b2:ed:cc

at the boot prompt of the dvd, how do I connect to it from my windows box?
I can't ping a mac address to see if it is ready, and I can't telnet to one either.

No, the mac address only insures that the installer uses the correct
ethernet device.

You must telnet to an ip address, of course. The command you give
assumes that an address will be provided via some dhcp server on your
network. If you don't know how to discover what addresses your dhcp
server is assigning, you should probably simply assign an appropriate
static address, netmask, and gateway as shown in our telnet mini-howto.

On Linux you could:

tail /var/log/messages |grep dhcp

namp -sP [yournetwork]/[your.netmask] e.g.

nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24
