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. 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.. Regards, Anas -- Anas Nashif <nashif@suse.com>, SuSE Linux AG Montreal (Laval), Canada

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!
