Someone wrote me off list about problems they were having using telnet to install Fedora. I'm sorry. I accidentally deleted the message before I could answer it. Here goes the answer ... The exact syntax you provided wasn't correct. Maybe it was only a top of the head typing error, but I can't tell about that. I only know it's incorrect. Also, try spcifying the mac address of your ethernet device. It's a much more certain approach. Ping the machine you are accessing before you try a telnet connection. If ping doesn't answer, something is wrong. Could be anything--you're on the wrong subnet, you supplied a wrong gateway--any number of possible answers. All I can say is that telnet installs work if you set them up properly. I've done many.
