Install with serial console

[Josef Wolf]

Hello,

I am trying to create an installation CD for installs using the serial port as
console based on 14.4.2

For this, I have made following changes:

The problem is, that the graphical menu, which resides in isolinux/txt.cfg is
still displayed on the VGA instead of the serial line.

Any hints what I need to do to redirect this to the serial line?
