slightly OT: Ubuntu Server

[Kerry Hoath]

Yeah I have installed this basically you do it as follows:

Assuming ubuntu server 8.04 server, instructions differ for 7.10 and 
earlier.
Boot the cd.
If running 8.04 server press escape and enter twice on the main keyboard to 
get to the isolinux boot prompt.

escape gets you out of the graphical screen, enter once okays exiting from 
splash screen
and enter a second time chooses english.

for 7.10 press escape and enter.
Key in something like
expert console=ttyS0,38400
replacing 38400 with the baudrate you want.
Danger: Lilo and grub can only go up to 38400 so if you set the console 
faster, you will get consle messages but the lilo/grub serial console at 
boot will scramble.

Make sure your terminal program of choice supports vt100 escape sequences 
and utf-8 encoding.

Regards, Kerry.

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get this installed with speach somehow? I've been
wanting to play with it for a while now, but could never figure out how
to get it installed...I'd think the best option would be via serial
console, but some googling around for information doesn't produce much.
