if all you want is a generic serial console, edit /etc/inittab and uncomment the line for serial console, telinit q and your done .. if you want a more complete serial console e.g. with kernel support then see the linux serial console HOWTO. I've only done it with LILO, but it's pretty easy, though a reboot is required to enable it(provided you have serial console enabled in the kernel config) connect a null modem cable between the laptop and other machine, I use minicom to communicate, it takes a bit of configuration to diable all the modem-specific stuff(takes 1 minute). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
