Fedora allows you to specify a few boot parameters which allow you to then do a 
telnet-based install. The boot label and parameters you need to enter are like 
this (adapt the addresses to your own network):

   text telnet ip=192.168.0.7 netmask=255.255.255.0 
   gateway=192.168.0.1 dns=192.168.0.4,192.168.0.254
