No graphics out, only a serial terminal output. We've got it up and running and are trying to install Debian (Woody) on it. Everything works just fine, but when the semi-graphical installer kicks in, we -obviously- get large pieces of garbage on the terminal. Is there a way to set the debian installer to use simple-ascii only without colors/...? Or is there a better terminal program we can use that can display colors/.. better? Selecting things in the installer is pretty much hit and miss too. Or, alternatively, is there a (simple) way to get some kind of graphics card + monitor for our D270?
