Network install help/question

I have a spare computer, AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3.0Ghz, 2GB ram. I will be using this for a webserver (LightHTTPD).

The problem is that I have A: No monitor for this computer (Actually, lets just call me lazy and unwilling to plug in a monitor.) and no CD-ROM drive.

I would like to install arch from a USB thumb drive... and then use SSH to install arch to the server.

Can this be done?.

Guides would be helpful.

Also, once my hard drive is back from RMA, I will be plugging that in so it would be like this: 60GB OS hard drive - 250GB Storage01 Hard drive - 1TB Storage02 hard drive. This is a future setup and right now all I have is the 60GB, but it would be nice to know how to add that in the future.

Bah. I'm not a newbie but I have never done something like this.. other then Gentoo, but you had to enable SSH first on that.

The last part I can't understand, what's your problem in adding ?
