Attempt to do remote installation with vnc=1 didnot work. we could get no access to vnc, could not confirm that a vncserver was running (at least not from external via tcp)

Workaround Hi, seeing this problem I got sshd up (rcsshd start), assigned a root password (passwd root) and copied the Xvnc binary from an Open SuSE 11.2 already installed system (scp -Cp /usr/bin/Xvnc root@ip_you_are_installing_to:/usr/bin/) done this i invoked yast (/sbin/yast) and Voilá i recieved the message from VNC at ip_you_are_installing_to display :1 In my case: -------------------------- inst-sys:~ # ls /usr/bin/X* Xorg Xvnc inst-sys:~ # /sbin/yast unicode_start skipped on /dev/pts/0 Probing connected terminal... Initializing virtual console... Found an xterm terminal on /dev/pts/0 (97 columns x 26 lines). Please supply a config file starting VNC server...
