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.

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.

Yes it has. How do I do it?. I dont want to use a VGA card to setup RH9.
rgds, rc
if you use comm then you will not get gui based installation
first try gui installation for that :
you have two options : Using VNC Using remote display.
for VNC you should have running configured VNC server on same subnet for remote display You are required to have a linux machine or windows machine with utility like Xmanager. on the same subnet.
remote display is easy once you boot from media ( I assuming you are using Redhat ) , it waits for nearly one minute for you to pass boot time argument. at this instance give an argument display=<ip address of your other machine>:0 (note you should have executed xhost + on the other machine). here after all installation screen will come on remote machine.
for VNC :
use vnc follwed by vncpassword=<passwd> as the boot time argument.
for comm : (text based only)
use serial as boot time argument. this terns on serial console mode. on the machine you have you have conneted serial port cable you should be running some comm software ex. minicom (lin) hypertext terminal (win).
try any of them. good luck.
