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.
