It's a dumb assumption in anaconda that the whole world has local bitmap graphics hardware. System z has no bitmap display hardware, so X fails because it's trying to start a local X server and the X server fails because there is no bitmap display hardware. That's the advantage of using VNC (VNC fakes a X server for the install X clients, and then you connect a VNC client to the VNC server). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
