OK, so you didn't actually install remotely via ssh. You installed locally and let the installer configure sshd for your new install and it was available after you rebooted into your new install. I'd like to actually be able to install via ssh. Basically I'd like ssh access to the Live CD so I could partition my drives for zfs prior to installing. And I'd like to do it from a computer that's connected to the web so I can read and copy/paste examples. Cheers, Drew -- Like card tricks?
