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.
