change ks.cfg file included in vicidialnow.iso to use a network config that would suit your remote location, then upon reboot you will be able to access it again & finish install.

network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.1.2 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --nameserver 208.67.222.222

change only this line.

but then the router there must allow you to ssh to this machine.


where i should put it ?
1 - you can replace the one in the iso file. (you need a program to allow you to open & add files to your iso, there are handreds out there)
2 - you can place it on a webserver ... & issue ks=http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/ks.cfg
3 - nfs server
