VNC install

Sometimes PCQLinux may not be able to start in GUI mode. The option to start install in text mode, of course, always exists. However, this version of PCQLinux lets you do a remote graphical install over the network using VNC. Put the install CD into the target machine and start as usual. Type linux vnc at the install boot prompt and select English layouts when prompted.

Finally, select whether the target machine should get an IP from DHCP or a static one. 

Once this is done, the install process gives you the client name and display port to connect to. You can use any standard VNC client running on another machine, to connect to this and do a remote graphical installation on the target system. The entire installation screen will now be available in graphical mode on the VNC client. On Windows, we highly recommend using TinyVNC.
