After careful review, I find that it does, at leas twith respect to the thngs they were complaining about. However, a very brief introduction to how to setup a serial console was greeted with enthusiasm. Add a section that's the 3 step process to get a serial console: connect the ports echo -h > /boot.config change off to on for ttyd0 in /etc/ttys reboot with a pointer to the more extensive section. For many people, these 4 steps are all that's needed. For others that wish to proceed in a more deliberate fashion, the more verbose section will satisfy their needs. Please feel free to word smith this english and/or sgml. Revision Changes Path 1.85 +39 -0 doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialcomms/chapter.sgml
