if you use comm then you will not get gui based installation
first try gui installation for that :
you have two options : Using VNC Using remote display.
for VNC you should have running configured VNC server on same subnet
for remote display You are required to have a linux machine or windows
machine with utility like Xmanager. on the same subnet.
remote display is easy
once you boot from media ( I assuming you are using Redhat ) , it waits for
nearly one minute for you to pass boot time argument. at this instance give
an argument display=<ip address of your other machine>:0 (note you should
have executed xhost + on the other machine).
here after all installation screen will come on remote machine.
for VNC :
use vnc follwed by vncpassword=<passwd> as the boot time argument.
for comm : (text based only)
use serial as boot time argument. this terns on serial console mode.
on the machine you have you have conneted serial port cable you should be
running some comm software ex. minicom (lin) hypertext terminal (win).
try any of them.
good luck.

if wipro box has com port you can diver display (at boot time) to
another machine. Look at minicom / hyper terminal and /etc/inittab
options. once it is booted you can use telnet or ssh or XDMP for display
from other terminal.
