List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, Lorenzo. That is correct Red Hat can be installed over a telnet connection. Here is a simple walk through on how it is done. 1. Put in the Red Hat CD or floppy, and boot up on it. 2. At the boot prompt enter a command such as: text telnet 3. The install will attempt to capture a broadcast address from your dhcp server. Which you can ping, and once you know the ip you are set. 4. do a command like: telnet ip-address where ip-address is the ip address the RH setup has taken. 5. Finally, the setup should be on your screen, and you can install via telnet. You should keep in mind your nic should be Linux compatible, the computer doing the install needs to have some place to get an address from, etc.
