Not having a keyboard/screen could be very bad. There are a lot of |
| 7 |
things that could break that would lock you out of the system. If you |
| 8 |
forget the root password, you can't boot into single user mode and fix |
| 9 |
it. If sshd breaks you can't fix things. If you break networking, or |
| 10 |
new firewall settings prevent you from logging in with ssh, you can't |
| 11 |
easily fix it. Keyboard and screen drivers don't take up a lot of |
| 12 |
space, and they are well worth it when things go wrong.\ |
