Linux 2.0.x


Hiya, I wish to be able to run a completely Screenless System, and do
all of my work form a serial terminal, this goes as far as wanting to be
able to see any error messages and so-on (even go to single user mode if
possible) via the serial port.

The reason I need to to this is that My system is 20 Kilometers away,
and I need to be ablt to see what it is doing in a reboot.

My main concern is when I get a bad disk error whilst booting, that asks
for manual operator input, and says "Run e2fsck manually"

I wish to be able to see these messages from the serial port.

Lilo shows me the LILO Prompt, but stops transmitting after it starts to
load the boot image.

Anyone have any Ideas?

TIA
