Re: Port output to serial port on RH9 Disc 1?

[p p]

Yup. Ive done that.  It works great for NFS installs, but when I try to do 
an install off the local cd, it cant find the install files on the cd.  I 
put the RedHat directory from disc1 on the cd, but it still cant find the 
files.  Any idea what Im doing wrong?    Thanks.

Perry,

    On the redhat installation media you'll find a mountable  
images/boot.iso
which contains a file name isolinux.cfg.   You'll need to edit this file
appending a   console=/dev/ttyS0  (or proper device) onto the end of the
text only install.   Then you'll have to create a new CD with this updated
image.

Cheers,
Sean
