Oops, i dont want to contradict, but, if your bios can be told that it has
no video card, ie, dont stop booting on errors, then i have a patch which
will allow you to boot a linux machine without a video card.
So realy a Linux machine can be operated without,
1) monitor,
2) video card,
3) keyboard.
