That's me being gay. I thought I could specify an argument to "--vnc"
to get the vnc connection on my local desktop (I ssh'ed to the dom0
machine to start a remote install). Eventually I figured out what the
--vnc option was for, and removed the "krs" (my laptop's hostname).

Yep - started to do that after reading the man page again.

Is that in the man page? Anyway, I noticed that the pbx domU was
actually running - that is, the install had started, but since I had
ssh'ed to the dom0 machine, DISPLAY wasn't set. So, the vnc session
couldn't start. It was waiting for me to connect to "localhost:5900".
I destroyed the pbx domU, forwarded vnc ports over ssh, restarted the
install, and connected to "localhost:5900" on my laptop. I proceeded
with the install at that point. Yeah!
Only hang up: the graphical install failed, which forced me to do a text
install via the vnc session. I'm not sure why that happened. Any
ideas?
Not enough RAM probably - try increasing to 300-400 MB just for the install
time.
Dan.
