Console on serial line
Hi Alex,
thanks for help
I have made live USB and I boot with
"live live-getty console=ttyS0,38400n8" but still getty is not running
on serial line! Do you know how can I change inittab from squashfs?
PS: I use latest live-helper from unstable
$ LANG=C apt-cache policy live-helper
live-helper:
Installed: 1.0~a33-1
Candidate: 1.0~a33-1
Version table:
*** 1.0~a33-1 0
500 http://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1.0~a32-1 0
990 http://ftp.fi.debian.org testing/main Packages
Regards,
Andrei
