Thanks for the pointer.

Hmmm, looks much worse than that, from my perspective. Seems ssh isn't
replacing telnet's use case at all:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-testing/msg93762.html
So, I will go test whether accessibility support is fixed in the Live
image. If not, I have no way to install Fedora without assistance from
someone. That would not be good at all.
Andre correctly reminded me that 'ssh' installer support is not intended
as a replacement for a telnet install. Rather, it is a means for
enabling 'ssh' to remotely monitor install progress. Translation, you
can ssh into the installing system and monitor /tmp/*log or do whatever
else you want from a shell. Essentially, it provides the shell you
normally get on tty2, but over the network.
Thanks,
James
