Install without taking screenshots. Then run in console-only mode. On the main console, run sysinstall(8). On the second virtual console, use "vidcontrol -p" to capture the contents of the first screen to a screenshot file. Then use scr2png to transform that screen shot into a .png. You can use sysinstall to generate all the screens you would during a normal install. Just don't commit any of the changes, and it won't write to the hard drive. Or, if you have a second hard drive, you can actually install on that hard drive. ==ml -- Michael W.
