I have a Powermac 6500 and it has this wierd monitor output. I can get an adapter but I'm not really going to use it to much as far as desktop use goes. I was wondering if anyone has heard of a boot disk I put in it and it will boot and let me logon from another computer using SSH, or telnet and maybe give me some tools like tar, gunzip and such. Like I said, no monitor so there can't be any menus or options on startup. And it would also need to have a ppc version available. Has anyone heard of one of these?
I will apreciate any help,
HK

if supports booting from CD-ROM, look for linux live CDs for PPC (knoppix has one, i can't recal if suse has one too).

But I don't think they will automatically start sshd.

i'm i remember correctly, suse's live CD has sshd started. i'm not sure with knoppix. i home someone with a knoppix live CD help out. i don't have knoppix here (oh yeah, dsl and insert CD are knoppix variants...)

if i may add, maybe you can do a vnc installation and have sshd configured to run on bootup.
