Booting without graphics card
Is it possible to get arch to boot without a graphics card? I only access the machine via ssh.
What information should I provide to get more help?

Re: Booting without graphics card
If the SSH daemon is running, then it will start listening for connections when the machine boots...

Re: Booting without graphics card
I assume that you have installed some graphical environment on the server that you ssh to. If so, consider the following solutions.
(1) With systemd disable the display manager (slim, lightdm, gdm,...) daemon on that server.
(2) Or if you do not use and do not need the graphical environment at all, remove (uninstall) it from that server.

Is that really the question here? Then this is easy: Yes.
You definitely don't need a graphics card to boot. If you don't have a graphics card, running a gui could still be possible, but would have some limitations - but you are clearly not doing this as you are only shelling into the machine.

More help with what? This was a yes or no question? What aren't you telling us? Perhaps you've tried to boot and you are getting some error that you've attributed to the lack of a graphics card? If so, why not just tell us what the error is?
