install system with vnc, get the following error:

rpcbind: rpcbind terminating on signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w"
06:06:33 Boot argument 'vnc' is deprecated. In the future, use 'inst.vnc'.
06:06:33 Boot argument 'serial' is deprecated. In the future, use
'inst.serial'.

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2012-03-21 14:45:22 UTC
Guys, please do propose this as a blocker right away, it clearly violates the criteria:

"The installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces"
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Alpha_Release_Criteria

Proposing now.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2012-03-21 15:37:02 UTC
+1 blocker, clear criterion violation.
