I doubt if any livecd distro would have a default root password and enable |

SSH at the same time, cos that would be a serious security flaw. |

I need to install gentoo on an headless server. |

The problem is that I cannot attach a video on it at all, neither for |

the installation. |

I asked the seller to setup the bios for cd boot as main option, so that |

I can use a live distro for the gentoo installation. |

I know for sure that both the gentoo livecd and systemrescuecd need user |
17 |
interaction to setup ssh (at least I have to choose a root password). |

I think it won't be too difficoult to do it blind: |
20 |
- Insert cd |
21 |
- Poweron the machine |
22 |
- Wait a while |
23 |
- Type "passwd" "******" "******" "/etc/init.d/net.sshd restart" |
24 |
|
25 |
But I'm sure somewhere there are livecds with a fixed root password, |
26 |
that start dhcp and sshd on boot. Possibly x86_64. |
27 |
Does anyone know such a livedistro, or can anybody suggest a different |
28 |
method for my installation? |
