Well it's displaying on the vga console at the same time as this remote management device and you can interact with either. This design means you can interact with the bios and any bootloader/OS/software without the management device needing to know anything about it, which is pretty nice. So I understand the design from that standpoint. > I don't think we have plans for a non-splash-enabled CD right now.

Either way we'd need documentation telling users of these systems what to do either, "If using the iLO text console, when the system goes into graphics mode hit F1" or "If using the iLO text console, boot with the second Debian CD" While the latter might be a more general answer since there might be other systems that need it, I think CD#1 is going to much more widely available so I'd vote for that. > debootstrap was broken a few days ago and you got a CD with the broken > debootstrap on it. OK, I'll try again when a new nightly shows up. Thanks, -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
