Distro Version:SNG7-FPBX-64bit-1805-1.iso (14.0.3.1)

Distro:FreePBX Distro
I needed to preserve the current hard disk partitions so I chose the following options:
FreePBX 14 Advanced Installation
-->Advanced Installation via Serial Port and VNC
----->Advanced Install with Asterisk 13 via Serial+VNC
After doing the EDD probe (it said "ok") it just sat there for a looooong time. So I started over and modified the boot params to include "edd=off" – no EDD probe but it hung after loading initrd. I tried several other boot parms to turn off stuff that might cause a hardware compatibility issue... nothing worked. Then I just happened to try to connect with VNC and up came the GUI installer. Yaay!
In other CentOS/RH installs I'm used to it showing a message about what IP address to connect to for VNC. Can you add this? It would have saved me several hours of wondering if my PC was just too slow or if there was an invisible catastrophic failure.
