Only thing I don't know how to do is have vncviewer in 'listen' mode.
I am the one that wrote that wiki article. How to put the client
into listen
mode depends on which VNC client you are using, and on what platform.
Building the CD was relatively easy. BTW, if you copy the Centos 5.2
1of6 iso image to a system with gnome, Nautlius 'open with Archive
Manager' makes it trivial to extract all the files from the image.
The rest of your build instructions were easy to follow. I am using:
kernel vmlinuz vnc vncconnect=1.2.3.5 headless ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0
method=http://me.htt-consult.com/centos/5.2/os/i386 lang=en_US keymap=us
Change the above to ;
kernel vmlinuz (crlf)
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 upgradeany vnc
vncconnect=1.2.3.5 headless ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0
method=http://me.htt-consult.com/centos/5.2/os/i386 lang=en_US keymap=us
(with the append line being one line)
You can leave out the upgradeany command, it has been in there for a
long time and I don't do upgrades very often.
And what about the ramdisk_size=8192? Seems I have seen that somewhere,
but it is not on the current append initrd.... line in the .cfg file.
above is all one long line....
If you are going to do a remote install source, just use the netboot
cd image. It is much smaller, and doesn't have to deal with the media
check.
What does that save me? I already have the 1of6 iso image here...
I do installs like this all the time on headless servers in my site.
