For your purpose, better get the tar or tgz distribution. With that one, you have to install it the way you describe above. > > If I install the rpm package, will it hook up the > vnc-server into /etc/rc.d as a service that is started > at boot time (I don't want that)?

You don't need that if you have the tightvnc distro. ARe you sure you like to run the install_vnc.sh script? That does the hooks in /etc/.. etc... If you can extract the files, you can read this script and do the actions manually.
