Actually I became a little more interested in this so I did a quick search, and found this article on Novell's webiste about headless installs using VNC. The crux is you need to have a network environment setup in the remote location to support this type of installation which needs a copy of the installation source, a tftp and dhcp server, and the server itself prepared for PXE boot. Sorry if it's already been mentioned, I only joined the list recently.
This is great but still requires some user interaction. An IP based KVM would eliminate user intervention and allow bios access during the boot process. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
