I run a SheevaPlug with Gentoo installed. I use 'Screen' to talk to the |
| 19 |
SheevaPlug via its serial USB connection: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
# screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This gets me to a login screen on the SheevaPlug. The serial USB |
| 24 |
connection is only used for installation and if the network connection |
| 25 |
to the SheevaPlug is unavailable for any reason. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Screen should get a medal. |
