Hello, I am trying to install debian on a remote x86 box, where i have nothing apart from a network connection, and ssh into an existing redhat system (and a free 1GB swap partition i can scavenge).
As i see it, without needing the kvm again, there are two possibilities for it: 1) use the netboot image, but boot it directly from disk with lilo, and use the ssh frontend. 2) use preseeding and do a fully automated blind install. This is rather chancy though, especially as we don't have a local mirror system to test run it. I know the ssh frontend was done for the s390 machines, but is it available also on other plateforms ? Part of the standard rc2 netboot image ? Are particular options needed ? I didn't find any documentation in the x86 manual about this. The other possibility would be to hire the kvm switch again, and do a hd-media install (since the kvm uses the same ip as the box, the netboot method is not ok). /me a bit lost outside of my nice to boot pegasos/powerpc/OF boxes with serial console :/ Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
