You might want to try asking a datacentre bod to pop a Fedora install CD

Thanks. That's seems to be a viable option.


Considered making a kickstart install floppy with the network drivers?
Asking a hosting provider to plug in a console usually incurs a charge,
however they may do popping a floppy disk into the machine for free.
Just ask them nicely to remove the disk when it's done :)


That will be more problematic as machine has RAID controller card and
I am not sure how all this stuff will fit onto floppy.
CD with vnc install option is seems to be more realistic to succeed.
Cheers,
Denis.
