It's nice and easy. Once the CD is up and running, you just have them type:
passwd <newpasswd> <newpasswd> /etc/init.d/sshd start of course put in your password insted of <newpasswd> If they don't know the IP address just have them type ifconfig and hit enter. It should pop up the IP address. And, if they are behind a router, just have them forward port 23 to the PC. I think that is the port. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. ;) Jeff On Tue, 2004-01-27 at 02:21, Eric Paynter wrote: > What's the best way to install gentoo remotely? i.e. I've got a > person with enough skill to put a CD in the CD-ROM tray and boot > from it.
