Clifford, what exactly fails?
Hello, I always use the remote install via VNC feature and it works fine in openSUSE 11.1 After the DVD boots I just type vnc=1 vncpassword=PASSWORD and the setup automatically starts VNC install so that the installation can continue via the http connection e.g. http://ipaddress:5801 But in openSUSE 11.2 and openSUSE 11.3 I type the same vnc=1 vncpassword=PASSWORD but the installation just continues as a normal install. The remote install feature of openSUSE is a wonder and I have installed servers in London from Dubai!!! Please try and make sure it works in my new openSUSE 11.3 Pleaseeeeee!

openSUSE 11.2 seems indeed not to work. 11.3 rc2 looks ok to me.
For 11.2, adding Xvnc should help. Like booting with 'dud=ftp://foo/bar/xorg-x11-Xvnc.rpm'.
Many Thanks for your great work. Well I checked openSUSE 11.3 RC2 and it does not work when you type vnc=1 vncpassword=PASSWORD But after going through the documentation of Linuxrc http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc This works!! vnc=1 vncpassword=password netsetup=dhcp So I think still something needs to be done to make sure the default DHCP option works which is the problem when only vnc=1 vncpassword=PASSWORD is given.
