           Summary: VNC install starts ncurses installer
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
When using the vnc=1 parameter to launch the install, it prompts for a password
but doesn't ever start the vnc server.  It just starts an ncurses/textmode
installer instead. The VNC server isn't started until the 2nd stage of the
install (after packages have already been installed)

PLATFORM/CONFIGURATION:  
11.2 Final i586

REPRO: 
1. Boot from the openSUSE 11.2 DVD
2. In the boot parameters, add vnc=1
3. Start the install

RESULTS:  
After prompting for a password, a textmode installer is displayed. 

EXPECTED RESULTS: 
It should launch the VNC server and display the IP/port on the screen.
