In testing some of the testers were unable to install using vnc
- Steps to reproduce:
- 1) open port 5500 on your host and run "vncviewer --listen"
2) in virtualbox/vmware, dvd media, f8respin rescue/dvd do:
[TAB] to add install options
add: vnc vncconnect=you.ip.addr.here
anaconda should eventually contact your vncviewer to continue the installation, which it does for the original f8 media, but not the respins.

Issue state:
unconfirmed → open
Severity:
Medium → Low
Target release:
None → Fedora Unity Re-Soin F8 20080204
Responsible manager:
(UNASSIGNED) → kanarip
Investigating just a little: There's no updates to VNC packages themselves, so maybe packages it depends upon have updates that break VNC (unconfirmed, will investigate). There's no bugs to VNC or anaconda on bugzilla.redhat.com that indicate this is to be expected, so no additional information there either. The error message (from zcat) is something similar to: unable to open display :1.
Changing the resposible manager, setting the bug to confirmed with low impact as this is no showstopper for the Re-Spin to get out.
