Re: [opensuse] Serial terminal installation
It should be straight forward. That was and i think still is

A dumb terminal connected to the server via a serial cable.

It's a new system. No OS. I'm trying to install it from the opensuse DVD using a serial console.I can't even get past the boot loader screen of the DVD.
Is that even possible? I've certainly never heard of it. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

How about using autoyast? Is that at all an option for you? -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Many servers these days come with built in KVM or you can plug in a keyboard and monitor with not much more difficulty than a serial cable. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
