True... But such a configuration doesn't preclude the use of a more detailed listing on vty1 the way we do it now. With our current installation setup its similar to this already. Its text based and some of the menus are not exactly intuitive (No... I don't have a better suggestion just yet). If something goes wrong you don't really know what unless you look at the second vty (ALT-F2) and then (maybe) there is some good info there. I've had a lot of installs go awry with little information to explain to me what went wrong. Like you, I'd prefer a very primitive interface if it gave me lots more diagnostics. Joe Average, on the other hand, likes a spiffy, clean interface. We try to accomodate both types by having a simplistic install and then some detail output on a seperate VTY. This could still be done with an even spiffier graphical installation on the first VTY. Wonder if it utilizes the VGALIB? (Lizard that is) > Reminds me of SCO.
