Headless network appliance install

vertigo262 · 06-10-2009, 03:34 PM

I have set up several untangle boxes, but i noticed
there is some really nice network appliance boxes available for
firewalls. Most of these appliances are headless, and I was wondering if
untangle was able to do a headless install.

I've never done a headless install, but it appears that the only way
to do this is through the serial port.

If anyone has done a headless install, I'd be curious to know if it worked and how it was done.

no it isn't supported.

you'd have to do the install then move the disk over, but then you wouldn't have console access.
