For this application, I do not need (or want) any GUI at all, so I can 
skip the framebuffer and no need to VNC in, etc.

So when you say "shell in as usual", I am not sure what you mean - there 
does not appear to be an sshd, and tails boots to GUI with no choice given 
to boot to console or other modes, etc.

Thanks.
