VNC doesn't do ^-alt-Fn.
I've never needed to do a remote install. Have you read through the
documentation? I thought an ssh (or maybe telnet) install is possible.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to log in to the system being
installed
during a kickstart installation?� It seems that "stage2.img" in
the RAM Disk
doesn't contain sshd, so I can't log in via ssh.� I didn't
see "xterm"
either in "stage2.img".� I want to be able to get to the shell
prompt while
the installation is taking place.� Is there another method I can use?
If you have local access, you can just do CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to the
second console, which is a shell within the installation environment.
If you want to look at it remotely, try a remote VNC install:
