Mgetty will do it almost automagically. You have to edit /etc/mgetty/<forgot_the_filename> to tell it which composrt to use. Then enable it in /etc/inittab and you are done. When I did this some time ago it was just uncommenting a few lines and it was running perfectly.

There is no debian package AFAIK. Check www.freshmeat.net or www.linuxnow.com about it. Ciao, Martin -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
