To be honest, I don't know if there is any documentation. But when I can't install with speach, at the boot> prompt, if you type: text telnet ip=192.168.0.2 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.0.1 Assuming that your computer's IP is 192.168.0.2 (or your desired IP) and that your gateway is 192.168.0.1, if you have more than one ethernet device, you will need an optional: ksdevice=/dev/eth0 I think that's the right one anyway, I have never looked. As I say, I have never found any documentation on this installation method, but it is popular in the blind comunity. :D HTH, Chris Norman <!-- chris.norman4@xxxxxxxxxxxx --> Selling cheap but functional shell accounts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "david" <david@xxxxxxxx> To: "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 3:07 PM Subject: Re: Installing on an AMD K6-2-350 Chris The option of a "telnet" install has me mystified.
