How do i take screenshots in linux installation?

Hi.





I've noticed in several blogs that people makes installations to test Linux distributions and they take screenshots throughout the install process, how do they do that?





If you need some specifical information about the Linux installation in which i want to do that, i'm particularly interested doing it on Fedora 8.





Thanks.

How do i take screenshots in linux installation?
In Gnome based distributions, Take Screenshot is under Accessories in the main menu. If you also look in keyboard shortcuts (open Control Center) you can make keyboard shortcuts for both entire screen or windows. Once again for Gnome, the command is gnome-screenshot.
Reply:There are a couple of ways you can do this.





1 get a "screen capture" device. There used to be a box called a "snappy" that went between your PC and your monitor that allowed you to take snap-shots of whatever was showing on the screen.





2. Likely what they are doing is installing the OS in "virtual machines" Check out vmware.com They have a free version of vmware server that you could use. (of course you'd have to have either linux, or windows already installed on a machine to run the VMWare in.)
