Jeremy et al, Have you ever considered wrapping sshd into the install image so remote debugging can be performed on systems that don't support VNC? For example, http://www.cpqlinux.com/ks-pre-sshd.html contains instructions for getting this working manually in %pre. Wrapping this into netstg2.img with buildinstall would rock. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||. Cisco Linux Developer | ..:|||||||:...:|||||||:..
