I installed F7 with: linux vnc vncpassword=foo vncconnect=host:5500 from a boot.iso. After a bit of tedious typing to find my http install source, *then* it tells me my password is too short, must be 6 chars, and forces me to reboot. Grudgingly, I do so, type: linux vnc vncpassword=foobar vncconnect=host:5500 and install is happy - so happy, in fact, that it never asks me for a password. This could be improved a few ways I suppose: if you reject a too-short password, could the user type a new one at that point? If the password isn't going to be used at all, could we not do the check at all? And if we're going to check, can the check be earlier in the process? Thanks, -Eric (apologies for not testing this on F8... need to get this F7 box installed)
(actually, dialogs early in install to set up vnc would be nice, instead of hiding it in a boot argument, IMHO... but that's an RFE I guess)
Currently it is not possible to actually use a password with a connection from the server to the host (AFAIK). In any case, the fact that the "reverse" connection does not ask for a password is no an anaconda bug, might want to create a new one against vnc. I'll fiddle with the anaconda vnc code and get it to ask for a 6 char password if the passwd is to small.
