Remote Arch install using ssh

Hello,

Tell me please, is there any way to control install process (AIF) on remote computer, for example with ssh over internet? What install iso (ftp or core) is distributed with ssh?

Re: Remote Arch install using ssh

openssh (client+server) is available on all images.
yes, you can control aif through ssh

you can even run aif on a normal existing machine to install arch on another hard disk

Yes, you can start an SSH Server from the install CD, then connect via SSH to complete the installation, but the install images do NOT automatically start SSH for you, so you need to have console access for at least long enough to start the Network, SSH daemon, setup /etc/hosts.allow and change the root password.

Here is the link to the larch wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Larch

However, if you are just booting from the install cd (ftp or core), all you need to do is get your network going with ifconfig and possible dhcpcd. Now edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure "PermitRootLogin yes" is un-commented, then run "/etc/rc.d/sshd start" and give it a few minutes to generate keys, next do "passwd" to set your root password, and finally (if you're behind a router) set up port forwarding for ssh, and I'd suggest setting the outside port to something other than 22. Now simply ssh to the ip and port from outside, login with root and the password you set, and run "/arch/setup".
