That sounds like a cool thing to do, but I meant that I'd do the
following:
bootup my machine
chvt 6
login; run pine
Now, after having done that, is there a way I can remotely read tty6, or
remotely display its contents? If possible, I'd like to be able to
remotely control tty6, even if "remote" just means "in an xterm."
Any more ideas? I'l check out screen, though, but it seems like little
more than a fancy "konsole" from kde2.
