I think it would be nice if the boot-cd also came with sshd. I don't mean as a precompiled package, but bundeled.
A running network and ssh is definitely useful on the boot cd.
A while back I installed crux on a machine 200 km from home and the customer that ordered it had just basic knowledge about computers and non about linux. So I told him to download, burn and boot Knoppix and with a couple simple commands start sshd.
I installed the CRUX core system on my local machine, kernel configured for my local as well as the remote machine (both of course x86). Then I tar.bz2'ed the whole CRUX installation (only 89MBytes), pushed it with scp to the remote which has booted the Knoppix (configured by my hoster) from USB. I partitioned, formatted, untar.bz2'ed CRUX to that partition and ran lilo... after a reboot, CRUX came up with ssh just fine... I had no choice to let the hoster insert something else as their network-pre-configured stuff and I didn't want to rebuild the CRUX cd only for their network configuration. Imagine doing that with a proprietary OS installation?! :-P Regards, -- Clemens Koller __________________________________ R&D Imaging Devices Anagramm GmbH Rupert-Mayer-Straße 45/1 Linhof Werksgelände D-81379 München Tel.089-741518-50 Fax 089-741518-19 http://www.anagramm-technology.com
