Hey Michael, Speaking of this,... have you seen any problems doing this method with RHES4 or FC3? I use a similar method (tty3), and ever since FC3, the display doesn't show up automatically. You have to hit enter blindly for my first (second really) dialog prompt to show up. Do you think that by using tty6 or another unused tty would resolve this? Hope all is well at the rack. I miss you guys...
