====== Debian ======
Notes

===== Installing Debian from a serial console =====

  * Down Arrow to Install
  * TAB (Edit)
    * Left of --- 
      * Remove VGA=xxx
      * Add: console=ttyS0,115200n8
    * Right of ---
      * Remove Quiet
      * Add: console=ttyS0,115200n8  (Yes TWICE!)
  * Enter

===== Keys from Keyserver =====

<code>
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv ....KEY....
</code>

So the new apt key stuff is a bit arcane.  Try this instead to download and install a key from a keyserver.  This is extremely quick and dirty, expect it to break under non-ideal situations and leave artifacts that make noise.  Bare minimal checking.

TODO: Do some magic, set the names from the repo URL or something.  Check to make sure we got something, etc
