How crusty? >The only likely result I've seen from google, >http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=541e07a7d1425c3dc2df69e6c48e0a52&showtopic=236207 > >, seems to imply that the install CD has an sshd on board, which a friendly >NOC guy will cheerfully start. However it then goes on to say that the NOC >guy has to be friendly enough to actually run through a bare install. That link seems to say that the people at the other end will have to do the basic install. I'm pretty sure I had ssh access during a kickstart though -- needed to start sshd from the spare console first, but after that had remote access during the install. However by this stage it's well after all the questions are asked. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
