I suggest you just get the rpms and install them - on my machine there is a separate docs package for vnc with its docs. Alternatively, there are heaps of docs on the internet, but IIRC you can just start the server, set a password and connect directly with the client. The only gotcha is that if you setup an initscript for it, you must run it manually first time. Otherwise it will hang on boot waiting for you to enter a password.
