Rick,
It's not an issue any longer since I ran into a bigger issue with
Ubuntu 6.06; at least from my perspective. I've abandoned running
Ubuntu on my server and I'm just going to continue running Sarge until
Etch become the stable release from Debian. Hopefully Etch will not
suffer from the same udev problem that Dapper Drake has when there is
an extra IDE controller on the PCI bus.

Anyone know if it's possible to install Ubuntu 6.06 "server" using
a serial console session? I'm pretty sure I did this with Debian
last time, but I haven't yet tried it with Ubuntu. I was going to
install Ubuntu on a system that is headless and I'm really to lazy
attach one if I don't need to.
Has the serial port become so out dated? I ask this because I had
to build myself a special respin of a rescue cd
(http://www.sysresccd.org/) just to get serial support for my
headless server.
I haven't tried this myself, but I remember looking at a script
called debtakeover which could probably be modifed to install ubuntu
instead of deb stable or one of the debian releases.
Is the serial port the only connection to this machine? You're going
to need some way to get the packages. If you've got tcp why not use
ssh or shudder telnet to get into it? If not, what kind of server
are you building?

Hmm. There's your problem - Debian.
I thought better of you, Weave!
Anyone will tell you Gentoo is the way to go ;-)

Oh, yeah. I used Gentoo for a long while. I'm not really a fanatic for
anything, anymore.
I've got Fedora, CentOS and SuSE 10 installed at the moment. I'd deem
SuSE my favorite, for now anyway.
I'm just trying to "get a rise" out of Weave. It's good for him; keeps
his blood pressure level.
