Setting up a headless Debian box

[John G Heim]

Are you asking if you can disconnect the keyboard and monitor after 
you've finished the install? If so, absolutely. This is a fairly common 
thing in the server world.  Just yesterday I did a debian install with 
just a keyboard and braille display attached. Worked great.

There are several ways to do an install without ever attaching a 
keyboard. They are non-trivial though. I'll explain how I do it if 
that's what you want to know.
