As Mike also realized, VNC isn't exactly the same thing, in that you
can't *initiate* the install remotely.  But if you have a boot CD/DVD,
like Jesse said, you can do the install mostly as a remote operation.
The Installation Guide has had this information for some time; see
Appendix A:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc5/sn-remoteaccess-installation.html

That's for FC5, but the information won't change much, if at all, for
FC6.
