Inclusion here. To have the /etc/inittab file to be re-read: # telinit q (i also recall doing a "# killall agetty" for some reason) The entire specifics of this can also be found in the "Remote Serial Console HowTo" > Ok.

After doing: # kermit type "connect" (most times, you'll also need to type "RETURN" to get the shell to display the login prompt). Type "ctrl \ c" & the "exit". well, anyways, half of my post here is OT but should help-out. I'm also noticing I'll probably confuse any readers. oh well. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
