Hi Ulrich,
Tks for your advice.

I haven't decided whether at the beginning installing xorg+xface, then
firebox but without X started at boot. After configuration finished
remove them. OR have the server connected to a workstation making use
the latter to configure the former.
I did this connection in the past ONLY for broadband sharing as well as
files sharing but never experienced using a workstation to
install/configure a server. It will be an interesting trial.
Tks again.
B.R.
