Hello,
Is it possible to do a telnet installation of centos 4.x? When i was using
fc3 that was doable with a command at the boot prompt like:
telnet ip=address netmask=mask gateway=address ksdevice=/dev/eth0
this works now, i.e. the box''s ip comes up on the network, pinging it
works,
but a telnet connection from another unix box immediately gets a connection
closed by foreign host msg and all further atempts are refused.
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,
Thanks, i did that and it is still giving me the same behavior, i get
one shot at a connection, but then when it kills the connection i can''t
do
anymore. Did you find that when passing text the install proceeded via the
telnet session?
Thanks.
Dave.

That caused the install to continue ... but not through the telnet session. (on the machine in question, the install continued) Looking here ... it says you also need to pass in this switch: text (if not the GUI install happens) ------------------- After doing that ... it still did not work for me ... I also tried with nofb switch. I decided to try the same options via a RHEL 4 U3 kernel and initrd.img and see if it worked ... it did not. So whatever the issue is, it is consistent between CentOS and the upstream product too. You can do an VNC install, see this page for details: http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2005/06/15/p35 Here is a good page that shows the options: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AnacondaIsoLinux0ptions Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
