installing fedora over ssh?

Is it possible to install fedora over SSH? I have a box hooked up in my basement with no monitor, keyboard, mose, etc. I deally I would like to simply pop in a cd, maybe hook up a keyboard and type in some commands blindly without a monitor, and doing the rest via SSH. Please let me know if this is possible, if so what has to be done, and if not, how much can be done through ssh. Thanks in advance!

There would be a kernel boot image which would allow you to do a network install. But also through a ssh tunnel, I doubt it. Since you have a cd, why not borrow a monitor from another computer and do a regular intallation? A remote install usually involves first setting up a simular system manually and saving the options needed for a remote install on a floppy. That step would involve setting up the computer normally being the first one.
