Hey there - I have a tutorial i wrote for my own docs - not sure if you guys want it on the centos wiki. It is a custom centos server 4X disk in which the install connects to a remote listening VNC viewer. The purpose of this disk is simple - to be able to install a second system with centos without having to hook up a keyboard/mouse/monitor. This second machine is my test machine, and I wipe/install often on it. I needed/wanted to use a disk for install as I do not have a 3rd machine (or the room for it) to house a NFS server with images on it. In a nutshell - I got sick of lifting a heavy ass CRT out of my storage every time i wanted to install. I suspect it should be located et howtos under misc. I suggest the article name "VNC Remote Install Disk". As I said - I have it written, but I am going to run through it once to update it for centos 4.4 (once the server CD is out). I am not sure if you guys are even interested. Dustin
