Console=<IP address> during install?

["Chris Miller" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I have a Dell Desktop and I want to put HylaFAX on it.  First I have to
install Linux.  I am too lazy to haul out the CRT/Keyboard/Mouse for a
console and I want to do my install using the locally attached CD and
somehow direct the console over the net to notebook.  I see lots of examples
of console=ttyS0 and I have done that in the past.  This time I have no
serial port on the notebook.

Anybody have any ideas about:
1) Starting telnet during install so I can telnet into the headless box
2) Specifying the notebook IP address a la DISPLAY=... So the headless will
display on the notebook.
3) Some other alternative that will let me control the install from the
notebook over the net.
 

Chris.
