OK.  all new to me.

Are you talking about the interactive network installation presented at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Rawhide/Installation#Interactive_Network_Installation

??

Or something more specialized?

I can put the Cubieboard2 upboot on with:

dd if=/root/u-boot-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 
seek=8; sync

I have dhcp on my network, do I have to do anything on the SDcard to 
support it?

For the anaconda install.  No video on the Cubieboard, I only have 
serial console and ssh.

And PXE booting.  Are you saying that I am not installing to the drive, 
but booting all the time from the network?

Confused here...  :)
