Description Janina Sajka 2010-10-02 18:48:49 UTC 
User-Agent:       Lynx/2.8.7rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/1.0.0a-fips

Specifying 'telnet' as an installation argument is not
launching a telnet installation. Rather, the installation proceeds as if
this request had not been specified.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.text telnet ksdevice=[mac.hwaddr]
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The standard text install language selection
screen appears, rather than the expected
'Waiting for telnet connection.'


This installation option has been broken in the past.
It would be REALLY helpful if it could get
onto a checklist for functionality verification before
new distribution releases are launched.

telnet mode is no longer supported.  Instead, please use ssh.  Specify the "sshd" parameter to get anaconda to start up an ssh server.
