I don't know which utility normally makes these modifications but I know that the last stable version of debian worked on alpha using a serial console so I hink it was implemented correctly there. > > Is this known? - let me tell you... it's rather unuseable in that state... > > :-((( > > It's unusable because it's not starting a getty on the serial line? exactly. > > I thought installing debian on my sparc would be a non-issue... but > > it seems that I was wrong and I needed about 5 hours to get it working. > > > > I hope you can fix these behaviour. thanks. > > I hope so too but if you can stay with us and help us attribute which > package can be modified to fix these bugs, that will help ensure that > we actually are able to fix this. I hope so. - I can't promise to help you though because I don't have much time at the moment and still have a few other things to fix and don't have very much time to invest into this issue, but I'll try to be as responsive as possible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
