To install about anything else that needs serial console, where does one end up getting a virtual serial port into the Windows side?

I would say that Minicom with Cygwin is probably the easiest way to deal with installations where you need to deal with the checkboxes and other controls in dialog boxes that come from the VM side of the connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Spivey" <tspivey@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 11:35 PM Subject: Re: VmWare > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I've installed everything from FreeBSD to Solaris to Linux in a vm, and > am getting quite good at it now.
