Is there a way to do an upgrade to the TrixBox installation without a Video Card? I'm running 2.6.1.1 and want to update to the lest version.

You don't even need a video card in the at all.

You can add this "com1=38400,8n1 " to the kernel line in grub.conf and use the serial port.

If you want to get fancy you can make an ISO that uses the tty port as console and install from scratch!
