Remote VNC install

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

    Hey folks,

    I have a remote server that needs to be upgraded to FC6 (read: fresh 
install)  At the moment it's up and running with FC1.  This machine is 
also on the (local) network where I have all the iso's needed to 
install.  Now, normally, when I am at that location, I will grab the 
vmlinuz and initrd files off of the first ISO, put them on the machine 
to be upgraded, add the necessary lines to grub and reboot the thing.  
Once it reboots and goes into the installer, I tell it to do an NFS 
install and off I go.

    However, that approach won't work right now because I'm not 
physically there nor is there anyone else who can do the initial stuff 
for me.  Now, since FC6 can run a vnc server during installation, I can 
then remote install the system, right?  So my question is, what 
parameters do I feed grub to tell it a) launch 'linux vnc' instead of 
just linux, and b) have the ip address fed to it directly (with all 
other parameters the installer asks for, language, keyboard settings, 
network settings and the NFS server information).  Remember, I'm not 
there to type anything on the keyboard and I know the installer is going 
to ask me for the IP information before it launches vnc.

    Anyone?
