Hi I think the installation team should place also vnc as part of the information material regarding options to set on the command line before intallation. I have an nvidia system that was going to give me problem with X during the installation. Text installation is not nice yet because there are some things that you can set up for installation in graphic mode but not intext mode (LVM, individual packages,etc.). But reading TFAs I came across the other options applicable and vnc. It sure was fun to start an installation, tell the system to do an NFS installation and then go to my VNC client to continue the installation as if I wer on the graphic console. Neat! Now I just have to install the nvidia drivers and off I go! (BTW, the system is attached to a TV, that's why I did not have a monitor ) Javier -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho@xxxxxxxxxxx ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.
