If you use the key choice at the boot menu of the installer to edit
options and add ' vnc' to the boot command line, then during the initial
installation configuration screens pick a viable network configuration
for your situation. You will later be informed of the ip address and
screen to connect to the computer with vncviewer from another computer.
This is a good alternative to perform a graphic installation if you have
a local network to connect to and another computer available on that
network.
