How will I know, though, when I reach the Gentoo boot prompt? I assume there |
2 |
will be some form of audio indication, but as I've never actually done it, I |
3 |
haven't the slightest idea. |

Hi James, |
15 |
|
16 |
orca is not included on our live cd currently. Also, I do not recommend |
17 |
using the gui installer; it has not been tested at all for accessibility. I |
18 |
would suggest using ssh access to the cd and following the handbook for |
19 |
doing the install. |
20 |
|
21 |
If you install with the 2008.0 cd, there is a way to have sshd start |
22 |
automatically when you boot it. Type this at the boot prompt: |
23 |
|
24 |
gentoo dosshd passwd=somepassword |
25 |
|
26 |
This example will start sshd and set the root password to somepassword. |
27 |
|
28 |
Let me know if you have any questions. |
