I don't have any specific plans for it but most probable use would be to function as a gateway/webserver/downloader box. Like I said, this only occurred to me because I cant remember if I still have its serial keyboard. It also doesn't have a cdrom drive so I was planning to do a network install anyway, which I have never done before.
LFS will take too much time and I don't have much of that to begin with. :( ciao! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dean Michael Berris Sent: 21. helmikuuta 2003 18:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [plug] network installation on a keyboardless machine what do you plan to use your box for? because if you're planning to use it as a router/gateway, there are several floppy based distro's for the said purpose. if you would use it for some other purpose, then my best bet too would be LFS. but if you could install slackware on it with a keyboard attached and a monitor on it initially, then you could configure a kernel that would allow you to boot it without keyboard and display support. you could also set it up to run sshd so that you could administer it remotely via ssh. this is after all, theoretical and i havent tried this myself so don't take my word for it. but AFAIK, it should be doable. :) <snip> _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
