[Solved] Installation without serial or VGA ports
«

Hi, brand new to OPNsense and the forum. I have a bit of a noob question.
I am looking at getting a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720 Tiny to run OPNsense. I realise it is overkill for the purpose, but I can get the box at a really good price, so it is hard to resist. Down the track I might look to run other things on it.
The configuration I am looking at (with an added Intel 4 port NIC) does not have a serial or VGA port. Only USB2, USB3, DisplayPort and HDMI. Can I still install OPNsense on it? This thread (
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3972.0
) suggests it is possible, but I wanted to make sure.
If it is possible, what version of the installer do I use?
Thanks.

VGA will work for VGA, Displayport, DVI and HDMI output. It just means that this version uses the local display.
