Or you can start the installer with a parameter of boot: linux vnc. This 
tells the system to start a listening vnc server, and not run the 
graphical anaconda on the local machine. From a second machine with gui 
you can then vnc to the machine that you are trying to set up and answer 
/ see the anaconda GUI. {you need a network and dhcp server unless you 
want to provide fixed ip address on the boot line}.

...another way to useful thing to do with vnc, more info at:
