Thanks. We're aware and are working on it. Others might post more information.

should be all back to normal by now, if you still see issues. please let us know. irc://#centos-devel on irc.freenode.net is a good place to get interactive contact with centos infrastructure people!
Good evening.
I see all these neat how-tos online with nice pictures of the install and all. I am new to using linux on a computer I own.
I want to document the next server I build, each step.
How do you do a screen capture on a system you are doing a fresh install on? KVM connected to the unit?
Any help appreciated.

Run it in a virtual machine and take snapshots every so often. It's a pain, but it works. I use VMWare....

My main reason was to make a really good how to book on building the webserver to help other newbies.
I guess I could install, learn VM, and then kinda 'fake install' the new system and screen brab it.
Or maybe I could just use a camera....lol
Maybe I could run the video though a filter and grab it with the vcr or a diff computer and take the video and cut it up.
Nothing is ever easy dang it. Chicken egg things is a bummer.

Hi Bob,

That sounds like a really good thing to do. However, let me point out a couple of things that are important when it comes to the mailing list you are on here.
1) dont reply to someone else's email when its a NEW topic or thread you want to create. At the moment, since you replied to my email about the website rather than posting a new email, this entire conversation about how you would screenshot various things, is now under the thread titled 'Centos Website'. dont believe me ? look here : http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-September/thread.html
2) when you reply to someone on a thread, dont top post. Put your content below the portion you are replying to, and delete the rest ( eg. look at this email of mine. I've trimmed out the extra stuff and only left in enough to make sense of the thread ).
Do those two things, and you are sorted!

The first time I did this I had a camera on a tripod behind the screen with a remote to the camera. Shutter priority with about a 2 second exposure is necessary to get complete screen captures.
I have done it more recently using vnc to handle the install on another machine on the network, grabbing each screen using whatever that machine has available. I find vnc installs helpful in any case as it makes it easy to monitor the installation without having to look at the hardware which may be in another room.

I found this article..and does talk about the VM http://portal.dfpug.de/dFPUG/Dokumente/Partner/Linuxtransfer/installation_vm warescreenshots.pdf
It is called "Using VMWare to Capture Linux Installation Screen Shots"...lol
Since I only want to go as far as the actual package selection, I may be able to pull it off that way. Just the thought of two installations and learning virtual machines...just to take about 20 shots is a bit uch..ugh
