Not really ;)As I had said in last paragraph of https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/08/msg00609.html : "Why would I be interested in ssh as both machines are sitting on my desk and _neither_ will be connected to the internet when ethernet connection is live?"
The sole purpose of the Ethernet connection is to avoid sneakernet when transferring small preseed.cfg and script files from the WinXP machine to my Debian experiment.
