i'd appreciate further pointers here.  i don't want kickstart.  i just
want vnc control, with no need for intervention at a machine far away. 
iiuc that means i need to do a hard disk install via vnc.  i don't see
that anaconda can do that.  if i'm wrong, or if another installer can do
this, i'd love to know.
