Hi all,
I'm building myself a little NAS box. I don't have a monitor, and at the moment, a keyboard neither.
If I used the desktop live CD the thing boots up and gets a IP address from my router, but openssh isn't running, so I can't access the box. The server CD doesn't seem to boot automatically.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this thing to boot in a way that will allow any level of remote access to it? I've got a USB stick, maybe I could make an image on that. I'm not 100% that the motherboard supports USB booting though.
Maybe my best bet it to use another distro's live CD which includes ssh access, and then do the ubuntu install from there?
