I need to install gentoo on an headless server. |
| 2 |
The problem is that I cannot attach a video on it at all, neither for |
| 3 |
the installation. |

I asked the seller to setup the bios for cd boot as main option, so that |
| 6 |
I can use a live distro for the gentoo installation. |

I know for sure that both the gentoo livecd and systemrescuecd need user |
| 9 |
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: |
| 12 |
- Insert cd |
| 13 |
- Poweron the machine |
| 14 |
- Wait a while |
| 15 |
- Type "passwd" "******" "******" "/etc/init.d/net.sshd restart" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But I'm sure somewhere there are livecds with a fixed root password, |
| 18 |
that start dhcp and sshd on boot. Possibly x86_64. |
| 19 |
Does anyone know such a livedistro, or can anybody suggest a different |
| 20 |
method for my installation? |
