I have a laptop with a broken screen. I tried connecting an external monitor, but that did not work. Not sure how much is dead...maybe the keyboard as well? I was thinking I could still use it as a headless server, but I can't get into it to work on it. I am looking for a Linux LiveCD that comes up with SSH running so I can login as root and see what is going on. The screen is dead, so I can't really type anything to enable ssh or set a password. I Googled for such a beast, but didn't find anything. Any ideas?
How do you expect this to work without a 2nd computer? Do you mean to boot the broken system from a live Linux CD? And then SSH to it from a different computer? One of the PC variants from http://ttylinux.net/ might help. You'll probably need some setup to get the IP address from it, but it could boot you could log in via SSH and mount your hard drive ... -- Douglas Jerome --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
