I wanted to capture some additional data when I am try and install 5.1 on my IBM servers.

Currently, I was going to use a Windows 2000 Laptop for the serial connection. Anyone have any suggestions or advice on this particular method? Any known problems if I did it this way?

Like I said, I need to gather more data during the install when 5.1 fails and this seems like the best method for the job.

I appreciate the help.

While a co-worker was on vacation i was troubleshooting a sun server using his w2k laptop and a serial connection. The default keybinding in hyperterminal was such that everytime i hit an arrow key it sent a break, which REALLY SUCKS when you're not ready to exit single user mode and the damn machine takes 15 minutes to boot up.

So, be careful of your keybindings!

Will do. :)

Looks like the handbook has a pretty good explanation about setting it up.
Hyperterminal is always fun...brings back flashes of setting up Cisco devices.
