Don't know exactly about it but I've seen some messages in the past on this List about serial console ... maybe this could do the trick. Search about this in the ML archives Good Luck, MaNU -- |

We do two kinds of headless install. First is the copying of configuration. The second is using the serial console. Surely you have a serial port and a lappy? -----Original Message----- From: dev...@li... [mailto:dev...@li...] On Behalf Of Heiko Zuerker Sent: 27 May 2007 15:08 To: dev...@li...

The only thing you could do is prepare the configuration on another box (like a temporary DL installation) and then just move the etc.tar.bz2 from the config media to the other machine. --=20 Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Yes, I do have both. What I want to do is to install devil-linux in vmware and use secure crt to connect to it from the host. I will be using a virtual serial and would much rather go without, but, I can't see, so, will have to resort to headless so I can have speech. I just had to make sure that a headless install could be done. I was not able to find that much info on it, so figured I would ask here.

Hey, did I understand this right, you're blind and use a speech processor to set up Devil-Linux? This is extremely impressive ! Kudos !

Yes, something like that. I have a screen reader that runs here on my win xp box, so, I just install vmware player, server, or, what ever and install what I want to. Most of the time with the different linux distros I can get a kernel with speach built into it, but, beeing that devil-linux is mainly for firewalling, I am not guessing that the speakup package is not included. If I have to go without speach in the kernel, I will have to use another means to install, such as headless. Thanks for getting back. Jeremy |
