Serial Console menu

Post by nobody_su » 04 Jun 2013, 23:54

Hi,

Thanks for your work. You took a lot of work of my shoulders.

But I wonder if you plan to support serial consoles. Like used on pcengines Alix, soekries or mikrotik.
Sometimes a VGA port isn't available.

Thanks.

Hi
What do you mean by console support?
PXE through serial port?

On some embedded hardware you can't find a VGA port. So you need to use the serial port to operate the console for the menus. PXE is served over ethernet, no change there. :)

I begun to edit your conf. so I am able to use your templates for RouterOS and Voyage Linux.

Should I post my changes?
