I have 3 sun workstations and no keyboard, mouse, or monitor for them. I hook up a null modem cable to the serial port & a PC running kermit or hyperterm at the other end. Works great. You only need it hooked up to install. One problem w/ hyperterm; it sends a break when you quit, so unplug the cable before quitting hyperterm. I have installed Solaris, Suse Linux and NetBSD this way. They don't need a GUI to install. I don't remember if I played with Debian on 'em. btw - if you have a sun4c arch. machine, linux runs horribly on it. NetBSD runs *much* better on it. -- ------- Tom Buskey ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
