Hi bdk!

Linux works great w/o a video card.  I recommend if you have a serial
port putting 
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
(if your serial port was on COM1)
also put in your lilo.conf 
serial=0,9600N8 (e.g. com1)

You will get a bios beep error because your bios will not detect a
video card, what I have done is hexedit a bios using awdhack (and
hiew) and do a search for speaker beeps and flip them around and
reburn your bios.
