Description of problem: I tried to do a manual installation with VNC of RHEL7 using ks_meta="manual mode=vnc" but RHEL7 anaconda refused to start VNC Not asking for VNC because of an automated install The minimalist kickstart generated is only two lines: nfs --server server.example.com --dir /RHEL-7/7.1/Server/x86_64/os/ ignoredisk --interactive I tried again using my own kickstart section (instead of using ks_meta) with "vnc" added: <kickstart> <![CDATA[ nfs --server server.example.com --dir /RHEL-7/7.1/Server/x86_64/os/ vnc ignoredisk --interactive ]]> </kickstart> This time it worked. Please manually connect your vnc client to client.example.com:1 (192.168.1.1:1) to begin the install. Please add "vnc" to the minimalist kickstart file when doing ks_meta="manual mode=vnc" with RHEL7.

Verified by running https://beaker-devel.app.eng.bos.redhat.com/jobs/13166 and connecting to Anaconda interface through VNC successfully and completing the installation.
This bug was fixed on the release-24 branch, to appear in Beaker 24.6, but we are not planning any more maintenance releases for the 24.x series. The next release will be Beaker 25.0. Updating the milestone accordingly.
Beaker 25.0 has been released. Release notes are available upstream: https://beaker-project.org/docs/whats-new/release-25.html
