Yes, that is what I'll make sysinst do (unless you installed serial console boot blocks, or would have done that by default). Side note: *all* of my amd64 machines I got last year and this year do have com ports and I use them as console - exception: the notebooks. (But yes, none of them had the internal connector wired to the back panel when shiped.) I also have no issue using serial consoles with TERM=wsvt25, as it is not too far away from the proper "xterm" I usually change it to. Maya: please calm down and recheck when I'm done (should be soon). Martin
