28.2.4. Enabling Remote Access with Telnet

To enable remote access to a text mode installation, use the telnet option at the boot: prompt: 
linux text telnet
You may then connect to the installation system with the telnet utility. The telnet command requires the name or IP address of the installation system: 
telnet computer.mydomain.com

Warning

To ensure the security of the installation process, only use the telnet option to install systems on networks with restricted access.
