I've got myself a remote server located faaar away from me (other side
of the world), and need to build a rescue CD for it in case things go
wrong.

Unfortunately most bootable linux CDs dont enable things like ssh
servers, and generally cant be built with static IP addresses into the
CD image.

Does anyone know of a bootable distro with these features:

- *easily* buildable iso with pre-configured ip address
- ssh service enabled automatically on bootup
- suitable for headless machines (ie no options to type on bootup)-
- Doesnt require a floppy to read the (network) config

I've been looking around quite a lot and so far nothing I've found will
let me stick the CD into the machine, have it boot and be instantly
network reachable. (And dhcp is not an option here). Anyone know of
something I've missed, or an easy way to adapt something like knoppix?

Cheers,
BB
