Well, you can't do much without a keyboard. You can't configure the |
| 2 |
BIOS to ignore errors because you can't hit DEL (or any other config |
| 3 |
key), and if you could enter the BIOS configuration program, you |
| 4 |
couldn't set it up. IF you could boot it, still you couldn't type |
| 5 |
anything at the prompt in order to configure and/or activate SSH or |
| 6 |
any other tool so you could START the install process remotely. |

My advice... Get an AT keyboard or one of those converters that let |
| 9 |
you plug in a recent keyboard (I have a lot of those, but I'm kinda |
| 10 |
far away from you). |
