     # make sure port 6603 is open @ viewer host 192.168.3.101
     vnc --host 192.168.3.101 --port 6603
     # assumed installation source tree
     url --url ftp://192.168.3.101/mysrc/fed/i386

2. From the listening VNC viewer @ 192.168.3.101 type
     vncviewer -listen 6603  

3. start the installation. While in the startup/boot command prompt type:
     linux vnc ks=ftp://192.168.3.101/mysrc/fed/ks.cfg
