Re: Headless (non)operation on OSXFrom: David Hooper Date: Monday, April 29, 2002
Time: 7:51:51 amLen,
I was hoping that someone, might have managed to set up an OSX without a
monitor. However, since your reply is a question, it does not seem like you
have. It is a question I do not understand either, care to elaborate?

Apple seem to think there is no fooling it.

That is not helpful (or funny) under present circumstances.

Co-lo macs used to work fine. But this is not just a co-lo issue. Not every
office network has a monitor on its file server.
As makers of serving software for Mac with remote administration, shouldn't
Men & Mice take a lively interest in this and try and help (Apple/Me) find
an answer? Hope so.
