Need image that boots w/SSH

**ocgltd** · 09-16-2005, 04:30 AM

I need a bootable CD which will boot without prompting (no ENTER like with standard knoppix), and will start SSH and allow SSH sessions. It also needs, TAR, SAMBA, and the basics.

Has someone already built such an image?

Thanks,
Michelle

The Knoppix prompt is pretty common to any remaster, but I hope you are aware that if you do nothing at all for 30 seconds the boot continues.

I didn't know about the 30seconds to boot - but I sitll need SSH daemon without any user intervention...

removing the waiting prompt from /cdrom/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg isn't hard. the bit where SSH is started on boot requires you to extract the knoppix filesystem , chroot into it , run "update-rc.d ssh defaults" , and then rebuild the disk. Note that you might need to remove a few packages while chrooted , in case the iso grows bigger than 700M

parallelknoppix has ssh running by default. There must be other remasters that do it too - there was a thread about "headless knoppix" that discussed this.
