One of my monitors just flamed out, right in the middle of booting to do an 
installation of SuSE 10.  It would be very difficult to move another monitor 
to that system right now, and I would like to do the install using some kind 
of remote X connection.  IOW, stick in the CD (it has no DVD) utter a few 
magickal incantations, reboot the machine in such a way that I can attache to 
the install process using X from a running SuSE box, and drive the install 
from there.  I have the media on the network, so once I get control of the 
system, I can install from the network.  At least that would be most 
convenient.

Can this be done?

Steven
