Re: [Xen-users] Ctrl-Alt-Fn

["Trolle Selander" <trolle.selander@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's a little cumbersome, but F8 will open a menu on vncviewer where you can pick toggles for ctrl & alt. After turning those toggles on, you can switch between virtual consoles by just pressing the Fn keys. Except f8... which has to be chosen from the f8 menu...

Either I'm missing the point, or you're barking up the wrong tree ...

Isn't installing without a graphical console more akin to installing over a serial console, i.e. you haven't *got* multiple virtual consoles to switch between, just *the* console?

Have you tried a GUI install with a VNC console instead?
