Can your hardware do serial boot? If so, IP remote console is even easier than firing up sshd... If you're brave, you *could* make a catalyst CD that sets the password upon boot and then starts sshd for you... Although I'd suggest waiting until catalyst is officially released before trying that. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail:ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. ;) Yeah, i will ;) It's actually port 22. Port 23 is for telnet.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing gentoo remotely
It's nice and easy. Once the CD is up and running, you just have them type: passwd /etc/init.d/sshd start of course put in your password insted of 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.

Hello > 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. Anything else is difficult, even with them on the phone. My way was: Give the person a SuSE 9.0 Live-CD. This boots and hopefully everything works including ethernet. I dunno if there is sshd enabled by default. Then you can log in and bootstrap the system as usual (and described here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml ).

[gentoo-user] Installing gentoo remotely
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. Anything else is difficult, even with them on the phone. So I want to get sshd up and running ASAP in the install process. Is there a predefined "gentoo" way to do this, or am I inventing one?
