VNC install
Submitted by intellium on 2 July 2011 - 4:29am.
What I like to do :
In step 7 in your guide, pass the kernel parameters to do a VNC install.
ex.
vnc=1 vncpassword=novell ssh=1 sshpassword=novell hostip=10.0.0.1/24 nameserver=10.0.0.2 gateway=10.0.0.3
Then when the installation starts up, just access it using your favorite VNC client, or connect to the java VNC console @10.0.0.1:5801
