/usr/share/doc/anaconda-10.*/command-line.txt says:
vnc Enable vnc-based installation. You will need to connect
to the machine using a vnc client application.
anaconda arguments go on the kernel command line; try GRUB's
command-line editing while testing.

/usr/share/doc/anaconda-10.*/install-methods.txt says:
- FTP/HTTP (from a directory of loopback-mounted ISOs)
------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Pulls files from tree via FTP. Looks in 'disc1/' directory to contain
files from CD #1, 'disc2/' for CD #2, etc. These can be created on
the
server by loopback mounting the ISO images into these directories
under
the directory made available to ftp.
so it's slightly more complicated that serving the plain ISOs, as they
have to be loopback-mounted. (NFS-exported ISOs don't, if that's
easier.)
Cheers,
Phil
