Hi,

(... resending after subscribing to the list...)

I have a workstation with
- ethernet connection,
- serial connection (with null modem cable),
- USB sockets,
- no optical drive,
- no display,
- no keyboard,
- no mouse.

How can I install F19 Alpha on it?

My partitioning needs are non-default, hence I think I'll need to run
anaconda in GUI mode via VNC over the ethernet connection. That's OK,
but I must see the initial grub menu over serial, and type in any
necessary boot params (for VNC) likewise. How can I do that? What boot
image should I use exactly, and what options should I specify when & where?

Thank you very much,
Laszlo
