debian-installer bootloader serial console configuration
Hello,
I wonder if it would be possible to add the line
serial 0
to the debian-installer syslinux config? This should not affect the
common desktop installation at all, and it is absolutely necessary for
headless server installations depending on serial console.
I have noted the "wontfix" bug #309223, so I won't add another bug
report for this request. But I would appreciate it if someone could
explain to me what good leaving that line out...
The patch is obvious, but here it is anyway:
