this could be fixed in anaconda >= 11.2.0.26-1 . Could you test it with this (or newer) version? Regards, Adam
I just ran today's build (2.23.07) anaconda-11.2.0.26-1.x86_64.rpm Failed. Will test again on the next iteration/build.
Yes, problem was in vnc's rfb library. This could be fixed in vnc-*4.1.2-13.fc7
