The first time I did this I had a camera on a tripod behind the screen with
a remote to the camera. Shutter priority with about a 2 second exposure is
necessary to get complete screen captures.
I have done it more recently using vnc to handle the install on another
machine on the network, grabbing each screen using whatever that machine
has available. I find vnc installs helpful in any case as it makes it easy
to monitor the installation without having to look at the hardware which
may be in another room.

try and manage somebody else's affairs.
