It is working.....
Got through disk druid to set the drive how I like, then did the desktop
setup.
It is now formatting the drive, and should be all installed before
long. Then the updates :)
And finally fix up the anaconda-ks.cfg so I can use it to build the
other 3 the same way...

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.
Like I said it has "been around the block" and was first used on
CentOS 4 since I think it was the first one to have the vnc option.
When I first started using it, the ramdisk size was too small to work
properly. I don't know if the defaults are different, but it doesn't
hurt as I did an install with it about 2 weeks ago on a 64 bit server
with CentOS 5.
