Rather you than me!

Is there not even the chance of a serial console? cause you can 
kick-start happily over that!

I'm not sure if I'd want to do a kickstart upgrade without access to at 
least one terminal!

My advice would be to set one up locally, test it, then change the 
details and try the ones in the datacenter.

Thanks,

Phil
