Would it be rude to yawn? Anaconda (Red Hat's installer) has supported both telnet and VNC for a long time. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options YaST/linuxrc (SUSE's installer) has supported both SSH and VNC for a long time. http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/doc/suse/suse9.3/suselinux-adminguide_en/sec.suse.linuxrc.html I don't consider lack of encryption a big deal. Installs should always be performed in an isolated environment anyway... Unless you're stuck using and Internet dependent installer like Gentoo's. ;-) -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
