By the way, Can I take a screenshot during installation? I'm setting up RAID-1 and LVM and I'm planning to make a tutorial about it.
Yes, you can do this. The easiest way is by installing over vnc; you run the vnc client on either Windows or Linux and take your screenshots from there.
You access vnc mode from the boot: prompt of the installer. The command line is something like (look it up in the Red Hat EL4 install docs, available at Red Hat's website): linux vnc vncpasswd=desiredpassword
The installer will ask you about networking; if you do not have a DHCP server on you will need to set up the networking manually. The installer will then tell you what to do; you then attach to the vnc session on the IP address you set up, and using the vnc password you provided on the command line. From there it is identical to setting up using a local GUI.
I've done network installs this way for a while; access the console just long enough to issue a 'linux askmethod vnc vncpasswd=' command line, point the network installer to an http repository of the files needed, and install through vnc graphically. Works great for serial console installs especially.
