"Steven T. Hatton"
One of my monitors just flamed out, right in the middle of booting to do an installation of SuSE 10. It would be very difficult to move another monitor to that system right now, and I would like to do the install using some kind of remote X connection. IOW, stick in the CD (it has no DVD) utter a few magickal incantations, reboot the machine in such a way that I can attache to the install process using X from a running SuSE box, and drive the install from there. I have the media on the network, so once I get control of the system, I can install from the network. At least that would be most convenient.
Can this be done?
Remote Installation via ssh can be done - but that still needs initial access to the machine, at least for giving the commands to boot up. You can give at the linuxrc prompt ip address and ssh as options - but I don't know directly the syntax, hope this helps, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
