Following up to my own post: The 'cu' non-emulator serial connection, found in the uucp package (this on F12 on the Intel laptop) produces a much better display when used with a serial console. I use minicom at first, to send BREAK and to get through the bootup (cu gets disconnected during the kernel's console switching during boot), then use the following command line: cu --line /dev/ttyS0 --parity none --speed 9600 --nostop dir and the UI is more usable; no line drawing characters (konsole doesn't do linux console emulation, methinks), but at least I can see everything, even if the color scheme in the text-mode firstboot is hard to read through that. I could probably use screen or similar; too bad seyon is so old; I remember using it a long time ago, and it was pretty good for the day. Licensing, IIRC, was the big problem. Getting ready to try CuteCom or gtkterm or qterm or.... :-) _______________________________________________ sparc mailing list sparc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/sparc
