Hi, I just (like an hour ago) did a headless, remote install an a sparcstation20 using the 2.2r2 CDROM. the whole thing was rather a tenuous proposition but went with out a hitch. Had a serial connection and ethernet to the server (also a Debian Sparc20) once I got the bootp magic down it just went, no hassles being headless. Dont know if the 4u kernels behave differently -Jon
