How to SSH to Knoppix?

[_y3Ti]

I downloaded the latest Knoppix V6.0.1CD, for the purpose of installing Gentoo onto my box that won't boot properly from Gentoo live cd. There is a page on their website detailing an installation via a Knoppix cd, for situations such as mine. First job after booting my new Knoppix CD was to start an SSH server so I can perform my install remotely, but having tried for some hours, I honestly cannot find how to! I've read many articles referring to a K menu that doesn't exist in the LXDE, and I can't find an SSH daemon anywhere. Any assistance much appreciated please!

I am not home and cannot confirm right now if something's changed in this regard under knoppix v6, but it used to be that you had to start the ssh daemon as follows (run as root)
/etc/init.d/sshd start

Thanks for your reply, but that is the same way as I would start the server on Gentoo so is the first thing I tried. I did a bit of searching around and didn't find anything that could help me. In the end I ran my Gentoo install on the console, in a Knoppix terminal window. Usually I'd perform the install from sshd session from the comfort of my office, but what the hell - at least you booted my system for me which Gentoo Live CD can't on a Little Falls board! And those exploding Windows are so cool too!

Here I am in the same boat one year on. But now at least I know knoppix cd doesn't even have sshd... www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29630. Can anybody recommend a distro exactly the same as knoppix but with sshd please?

You could boot Knoppix 6.2.1 CD and enter
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh startThis will start the "OpenBSD Secure Shell server".

In Knoppix 6.2.1 there is a method to start the sshd with an menu entry: Use "Preferences" -> "Start SSH Server"

It's there in 6.2.0 as well.

That thread was about the 6.0.1, CD. You can't conclude anything about other 6.X versions from that. If it is lacking, you just make a persistent image and install it there, from Debian repositories. I think it is on the 6.2.X DVD, I have it on the menu as Krishna.Murphy describes, and can't remember I installed it.

Yes, thanks 6.2.1-DVD has much become my favourite way to boot a difficult box, now I know how to start ssh :)
