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! :-)
Yes.
yes, but as I found out lately: if you connect a VGA monitor to Raspberry Pis with a converter it still might not show a picture (you have to boost the output on hdmi so a picture shows up). Just saying because I had it multiple times lately.
