Installing via VNC
------------------

To install |product_name| via VNC, boot to the welcome screen and do the following:

#. Select the main installation option and press **E** to start editing it.

#. Add ``text`` at the end of the line starting with ``linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz``. For example:

   ::

       linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=<ISO_img> quiet ip=dhcp logo.nologo=1 text

#. Press **Ctrl+X** to start booting the chosen installation option.

#. When presented with a choice of starting VNC or proceeding to the text mode, press |press_key|.

#. Enter a VNC password when offered.

#. In the output that follows, look up the hostname or IP address and VNC port to connect to, e.g., ``192.168.0.10:1``.

#. Connect to the address in a VNC client. You will see the usual **Installation Summary** screen.

The installation process itself is the same as in the default graphics mode (see :ref:`Installing Using GUI`).
