Does anyone have mint specific instructions on setting up getty so i can use a serial terminal/emulation software to work on my machine? I'm running Mint 9(just installed it today) on an HP dx2000 with an Intel P4 at 2.8 Ghz(i think), 1G of ram, and an onboard serial port. I am setting this up in my dorm room and will not have space for a monitor/kb/mouse so I will be using ssh and my main laptop(Macbook Pro 15") to access it. The serial terminal is for when(not if) something network related goes screwy and I can't ssh into my computer. I have looked into the internet and have found various tutorials but none were debian/mint specific and some of the file locations were different. I'd also like to write a tutorial on this at some point.
Thanks in advance,
Marcos
