    Unhappy Debian Auto Install

    I have a desktop that does not have a monitor, I am looking for a copy of Debian that will install w/ssh (no other options). I have looked at the Debian Apendix on it and it may as well be in Russian, can anyone help?

    Does the 'headless' desktop have a running system?

    You're going to have to find a monitor and keyboard to do the install. After the install you can ssh into the system from another computer.

    Unhappy

    this system is unable to support video (no onboard video or pci slot to add a video card) I tried using VMware with it pointed to a real drive but Debian crashes on the install.

    Another site further down the page may give you more information. I have never tried this myslef, but it sounds interesting. This rule about not posting url's until you have made 15 posts is a bit irritating.
