Sure, if the tool provides the ability to tweak the install to enable  
password-based root login, then one can log in after installation,  
upload keys, configure sshd, etc.  The question is whether the tool  
that is available has that ability.  Over the years, I have attempted  
many of the remote installation methods described in the Fedora  
Installation Guide.  Not all of them work when you don't control the  
remote network.
