Re: monitorless intall - a newbie question

Hi all,

I would like to ask for any information regarding an installation of
Debian on a monitorless PC. The idea is to use a box without videocard
and monitor, but with HDD and 2 network cards as a "server" for a small
home network (basically - I do not have place and money to by videocard
and monitor, but do have a laptop with debian on it). My idea was to
boot the monitorless box from a floppy/CD in such a way, that 1. eth0 (for internal network) gets configured from init script 2. sshd/telned starts up from init script 3. make telnet/ssh from my laptop and configure it further, which
includes all procedures, starting from fdisk, installind Debian, and
ending with config of the eth1 for the external network.

So, the question is: are there any ready images available for this kind
of tasks. HOWTO's or just a piece of advice are also wellcome.

I am not quite sure that this question corresponds to the subjects
discussed in this list. So, my excusses if it is an off-topic.

Thank you in advance

RS
