-you can use Xnest and export the install display. The problem is to get the
-proper fonts. One solution is:
-- 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!!
