If you still want to be able to connect to a computer on the basis of its 
name/FQDN in your LAN, you can enter this in the client PC's /etc/host file:

192.168.1.8 livecd.yourLANdomain livecd

Alternatively, you will need to set up a DNS service in a PC within your LAN 
and point livecd to 192.168.1.8.  Bear in mind that the above will only work 
reliably if you have defined a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.8) for the 
livecd PC on your router.

PS. To connect to it from a MS Windows machine with e.g. PuTTY you'll need the 
corresponding entry in the system32/hosts file.

when you get to the point of setting up your domain name services for
your network (if ever) you can make client supplied names like 'livecd'
get added to the DNS database.  until then, you'll have to make due
with the hosts file.

Hello, i am trying to install 2007.0 on a x86 system using the minimal

a gentoo station i already have properly set up and working fine.


¿how can i connect to the pc which booted from the livecd to continue 
the install without moving from my main gentoo workstation?


(ssh livecd from my pc does not work even after startin sshd in the 
remote machine where i am trying to install gentoo)


thanks in advance y'all

Hi,

Please check the install guide - it tell's you how to start sshd (from 
LiveCD).

Set your root pass (sudo passwd)

I assume that the network on the livecd machins is correctly started
and that you have also done /etc/init.d/sshd start on that machine.

You will also need to set the root password on the livecd to a known
value.

If none of that works then you'll have to provide more info and
perhaps someone more knowledgeable will help.

Cheers,
Roger

Have you started sshd (/etc/init.d/sshd start as root).
Could check with: netstat -t | grep sshd (ps aux | grep 22).
ssh is the client program, sshd is the server.

I frequently install to remote machines in this way.

Have you tried using its IP address?
Are you sure the livecd machine has network access?

First of all, i'd like to point that i had started the ssh daemon and reset
the root password from the beginning. However, after repeated failures i
solved this by connecting using the ip instead of the hostname.

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

thanks for all your replies
