You will need to connect to the machine using a vnc client application. anaconda arguments go on the kernel command line; try GRUB's command-line editing while testing. >if i place the fedora isos on a httpd server, then what? /usr/share/doc/anaconda-10.*/install-methods.txt says: - FTP/HTTP (from a directory of loopback-mounted ISOs) ------------------------------------------------------ Summary: Pulls files from tree via FTP. Looks in 'disc1/' directory to contain files from CD #1, 'disc2/' for CD #2, etc. These can be created on the server by loopback mounting the ISO images into these directories under the directory made available to ftp. so it's slightly more complicated that serving the plain ISOs, as they have to be loopback-mounted. (NFS-exported ISOs don't, if that's easier.)
