Description of problem: In remote VNC installation guide grub parameter is incorrect and misleading. Documentation states that if you would like to install system remotely you should use following parameters: linux vncconnect=HOST this command doesn't work and correct one is: vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img vnc vncconnect=HOST[:port] Incorrect documentation can be found on following pages: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Installation_Guide/VNC_Whitepaper-vnc-connect-mode.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Installation_Guide/VNC_Whitepaper-installation.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11-15 How reproducible: N/A Steps to Reproduce: 1. firefox http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Installation_Guide/VNC_Whitepaper-vnc-connect-mode.html Actual results: linux vncconnect=HOST Expected results: vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img vnc vncconnect=HOST[:port]

I'm not sure if this same issue. Lack of "linux..." command is part of the problem. The main problem of this bug is that: vncconnect=HOST[:port] doesn't work and you have to use: vnc vncconnect=HOST[:port]
Thanks Stanislaw. I've edited the F16 guide so that all instances of 'linux vncconnect=HOST' are now 'linux vnc vncconnect=HOST[:port]'. Cheers, Jack
Removing myself for these bug components as I'm either no longer involved in that aspect of the project, or no longer care to watch this particular bug. Sorry if you are caught in a maelstrom of bug changes as a result!
