interesting and thank you for the pointers.
some quick searching for "linux headless" brought up a small bit of info as of August 10 2005 and i certainly learned some new stuff yet... it seems to me that the install toggle of
linux headless
could be better described as trying to install linux on a machine before having your coffee eh? ;->
