boot cd-rom network install on system with no display using vnc

[Kovacs, Corey J.]

 So, if you mean the machine you are trying to kickstart is headless and you are booting it from a cd/dvd and trying to use a kickstart file on some server somwhere, then yes...I think so...

Boot the node from the cd/dvd and keep pressing the esc key to keep it from going past the menu.....
When you think you are there, type in the boot command...  should be something like this...

linux vnc ks=http://myserver/ks.cfg <ENTER>

if you are careful, it should just work.

Is there some reason you can't stick a monitor on it?
