Hi, I tried to install FreeBSD from an existing Debian 4.0 Linux =20 installation with "Depenguinator 1.1". Depenguinator failed due to a wide range of incompatibilities caused =20 by gcc-4.0 and the beta code used in Depenguinator. Next I built an image under my local Mac OS X 10.5 with QEMU - but the =20= next step would have been to copy the image via dd to harddisk of the =20= remote server. The problem is that Linux doesn't support ufs and the additional ufs-=20 tools either won't compile because of gcc-4.0, current Linux kernel =20 etc. . I don't have the possibility to use KVM-over-Ethernet - but I can ask =20= a technician to boot from a CD-ROM. The problem here is that the =20 neither the bootonly.iso or one of the others automatically start SSH =20= and connect via DHCP=85 don't they? So... is there another way to start a remote installation? Best Regards, Yves=
