Subject: [SLE]? Install with no monitor
Hello all ... I've been lurking around for a while ... and
finally decided to make my first post (after trying to read a FAQ
I could not find).
Here is my question: I have a (rather) old box, on which I'd
like to install suse 7.0 so that I could use it as a firewall
(sort of). Problem is: It has two ethernet NE2000 PCI cards, a
keyboard, a (hopefully) bootable CD-player, but no monitor :/.
Considering that I have a laptop (thus no monitor I could
borrow from it) with Suse 7.0 and Win98 installed, is there any
way I could do kind of a remote installation? I suppose network
installation has no chance to work (maybe I'm wrong) ... but
would it be possible to get the monitor output through a serial
cable to a window terminal on my laptop or something like that
for instance? Any suggestion?
Thanks all in advance,
Benoit.
