Hello,

Will you be enabling installation with only  a serial console attached
to the machine?

I am talking about no keyboard and monitor, just a serial terminal.

This is basic unix functionality that is easily enabled.

Thank you.

Following http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CD
mkdir unpack
bsdtar -C unpack -xf debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso [if doing it with
mount -o loop, don't miss .disk dir]
vi unpack/isolinux/isolinux.cfg [timeout 5]
vi unpack/isolinux/txt.cfg [add console=ttyS0,9600n8 to append line]
chmod +w unpack/isolinux/isolinux.bin
genisoimage -o debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst-plettserial.iso -r -J
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat ./unpack

I was using an amd64-netinst CD, but it should work with any CD that
uses isolinux (i386 or amd64).

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
