He can do an install in text mode by specifying "inst.text" in the kernel options at the boot menu. It's limited (you can't repartition drives, etc.--it uses the defaults). If he has a VNC client listening on some port "xxxx", he could use "inst.vnc inst.vncpassword=somepassword inst.vncconnect=ipaddr:xxxx" in the kernel options and the install will use the VNC client as the console.
