Why does "autostep --autoscreenshot" not capturing the screenshots during kickstart installation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

 autostep (optional)
    Similar to interactive except it goes to the next screen for you. It is used mostly for debugging and should not be used when deploying a 
    system because it may disrupt package installation.
        --autoscreenshot — Take a screenshot at every step during installation and copy the images over to /root/anaconda-screenshots after 
        installation is complete. This is most useful for documentation.

  • It didn't create any directory /root/anaconda-screenshots and also didn't have screenshots too! Why?
