remote installs?

[Kirk, Steve]

Well, as you have the network connection up, you should be able to get to a command line, either through SSH or VNC, and you should find that the 'eject' command is available at this point.

So 'eject cdrom', or 'eject /dev/hdc' should work.

Cheers,

Steve

Subject: remote installs?



I have a Redhat Enterprise 3 AS install to do tonight.  The machine isn't
located in one of the buildings where I have an office, so sitting there
waiting for it to finish installing would be a pain.  I'd prefer it if I
could walk over, start up the install, and walk back to my relatively cozy
office.  :)

I've been experimenting with VNC as a way of doing installs.  It seems to
work great, but I've been doing it by popping in the first cdrom,
launching a VNC install, and then doing things remotely.  The problem is,
that after the install is done, that cdrom is still in the cd drive, so
the reboot after the install comes back up off of the install cdrom.

Is there some way of ejecting the cdrom in such a way that it won't be
reloaded, via VNC, or something like that?

Thanks!
