if wipro box has com port you can diver display (at boot time) to another machine. Look at minicom / hyper terminal and /etc/inittab options.
once it is booted you can use telnet or ssh or XDMP for display from other terminal.

Hi All,
I am having a piece of hardware called the Wipro Ezynet Server.
Why not get the manual and cd from wipro?
I don't know what to do and how to go about it. Once I tried loading RHL9 on to it. I took out the mbd and connected a pci vga card and succeeded in loading RHL.
That is the end of your problems no? Once u have RH9 running you can do whatever u want.
It has a small socket for connecting a kbd using a connector similar to the ones for mouse we used to have in P-I system. It has some kind of a card used to display the booting info on an LCD screen. The moment I reconnected the card, it just went bust. The card seems to know only the OS it came packaged with and seems to be the loader ( like lilo or grub) for the OS.
Why do u need the LCD anyway.
Anyone have a better idea, how to get it up and running without connecting a VDU, KBD and MOUSE.
U dont need kbd, mouse and vdu anyway. In fact that is how most hosts run. Just switch on and it will boot to it's default run level. If u need any additional services just add them to the default run level.
