Re: [suse-autoinstall] Tip: Using VNC with autoinstall

Hi, We have vnc support during installation but I have never made any use of it till a couple of days ago and I found it very usefull when auto-installing remote machines.

To enable vnc, enter vnc=1 VNCPassword=<some password> on the command line.

Hey that's pretty cool! One thing people might wanna know: The password needs to be at least 6 characters! My first tests with this feature failed, cause I used a shorter one!

The installer will then show a URL on the console which you can connect to using a java enabled browser. Now you can monitor the installation in the browser..
