We could: 1) make sysinst create a different /etc/ttys file when installing via serial console 2) Remove xconsole from the default xdm setup? Also add comments to /etc/ttys to explain what needs to be done when xconsole is enabled ... and probably others. I actually would prefer (2) as it looks nicer anyway, but (1) is also very simple to implement. Martin
