Not sure if this would work for fedora but it did work for a firmware and OS upgrade on a Nokia 330 box. (actually on a large number of them). I arranged with people on site to connect a laptop running VNC to the serial console of the Nokia 330 box. Ran hypertemrinal on the laptop to connect to the Nokia 330. From there I was able to perform upgrades to the both the systems firmware and OS. This required going to single user mode a couple of times during the upgrade. For fedora I would expect you may want to get a set of CD's to the location and have the onsite people swap them as needed. But you should be able to drive it from a serial console via VNC on the laptop. The sites the equipment was located in were IDCs all over the world. Unless you have equipment in a totally dark location there should be someone that can act as a pair of hands to connect things up for you. -- Scot L. Harris <webid@xxxxxxxxxx>
