The problem is that I cannot attach a video on it at all, neither for the installation. I asked the seller to setup the bios for cd boot as main option, so that I can use a live distro for the gentoo installation. I know for sure that both the gentoo livecd and systemrescuecd need user interaction to setup ssh (at least I have to choose a root password). I think it won't be too difficoult to do it blind: - Insert cd - Poweron the machine - Wait a while - Type "passwd" "******" "******" "/etc/init.d/net.sshd restart" But I'm sure somewhere there are livecds with a fixed root password, that start dhcp and sshd on boot. Possibly x86_64. Does anyone know such a livedistro, or can anybody suggest a different method for my installation?
