installation via telnet

[dmehler26 at woh.rr.com (Dave)]

Hello,
Is it possible to do a telnet installation of centos 4.x? When i was using 
fc3 that was doable with a command at the boot prompt like:
telnet ip=address netmask=mask gateway=address ksdevice=/dev/eth0
this works now, i.e. the box's ip comes up on the network, pinging it works, 
but a telnet connection from another unix box immediately gets a connection 
closed by foreign host msg and all further atempts are refused.
    Thanks.
Dave.
