  • Will a lite image give me a text mode console?

    From Chris Green@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 7 20:31:42 2024
    I use lite installations on my Pi systems because they are all used
    via ssh.

    However in one case it would be useful to have a way to access the
    system directly rather than via ssh. Does anyone know if the lite
    images will give me a text mode console if there is a display
    connected?

    Yes, it should come up by default.

    Good, thank you! :-)
