Installing a new system, I launched the install:
linux vnc
I was then able to connect with a VNC client and run the install, really cool.
All went well until the actual installation started. I saw the formatting of the swap partition, then the root file system and then I was suddenly disconnected.
On the console was the following message:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x09baf620 *** install exited abnormally
Any ideas as to what to look for? Has anyone used the VNC installation with V4.3?
Thanks!

As a follow up.... I booted off of the CentOS live CD and then used fsck to force a check of the file system, which looked like it was fully formatted. The live CD had already mounted the swap partition, so I presumed that was ok.
I then restarted the installation, except instead of using
linux vnc
I used
linux askmethod vnc
and I also set the partitions to be left formatted as is. Otherwise, I made exactly the same selections. This time the install was perfect.
I suspect that the install didn't know to look on the CD, which is why I added askmethod, based on some research, but I don't know if this was the issue or something happened at the end of the format.
Anyone else have this issue? Any insights?
Thanks!

I have used the vnc install options many times, but could never get it to run headless "and" use the cd. I always had the media check prompt before vnc came on. It works with every other install method I tried.
