I believe you can use dhcp as well, but if you do that then you'll have to hunt around for the machine to see what ip it was given by the dhcp server so when I do an install like this I can always know where the machine is.

Cc: RadSurfer@yahoo.com Subject: installing remotely I've seen references on thist occasionally on either using telnet or a "serial console" to install from another machine. What do I type at the first prompt to do this? I run an i r l p ham radio Linux box and have done four of these, but always needed sighted help to do the initial install. Once I get up and running I can use my windows machine witha terminal program and winscp to do what I need. Hoping there is a way to do this without sighted help. 73s Butch Bussen wa0vjr _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- No virus found in this incoming message.
