It failed. Now, I can't su to root to update to the 5.1 sources and I have to either get my big-ass monitor out of the back room, or get this thing setup to work over a serial console for these emergencies. Can someone tell me what I have to do to get this sort of support? The only thing I can seem to find in the handbook is the headless install setup. BTW, I realize to fix this particular instance, I'm going to have to get the monitor and keyboard out. TIA Eric F Crist President AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588
