+you can use Xnest and export the install display. The problem is to get the

+- modify your /etc/X11/fs/config:
+- move /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts2
+- tell xfs to take this into account
+- install DrakX's fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
+- makes Xnest happy by adding the directories it needs
+- launch Xnest
+- do a network install giving ``linux display=YOUR_IP:1''
+- takes the screenshots!!
