I read the "making-screenshots" in anaconda doc directory. - boot install with: boot: text display=<remove X display>:0 ^-- may be it's mistyped. On VC2 enter: anaconda -m nfs://mnt/source --xmode I made nfs partition on remote redhat linux(7.2) server like; (in /etc/exports) /pub *(rw,insecure,all_squash) and in the installing machine I executed anaconda as; # anaconda -m nfs://remoteIP/pub --xmode So, the first splash image is shown in the remote xwindow(-->may be nfs works fine..) but that's all and can't go ahead. The error message in the installing machine is; "unexpected async reply (0x....)" what's wrong with me? thanks.
