so how is the VNC access handled? I thought I'd take a look, but as soon as I connect, the window opens and closes baklava: try a better VNC client, doesn't be disconnecting you *shouldn't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOg4DfjOj7I&feature=popular up_the_irons: thanks, TinyVNC worked (RealVNC didn't). Is there any reason for me to keep cd, serial, or usb support in the kernel? baklava: you should keep serial for the serial console access feature i'm going to be rolling out some time soon; CD support is good if you want to access the install DVD baklava: USB support, can't think of why you'd need that.. irons: How does the serial console work? If you can tell? Like Serial over IP? up_the_irons: alright... sio? uart? Nat_UB: you would SSH into a console server and pick 'serial console' from the menu, and *poof*, you're in your serial port baklava: whatever ttyd0 is "dialup tty" i think is what that stands for irons: That's sweet...been looking at hardware serial consoles at work...very costly up_the_irons: /dev/ttyd? is for sio callin ports
