If you have no (or no free) monitor to install a new GNU/Linux server/firewall... but you have a laptop (or a PC with a monitor) - run knx-hdinstall unblind ;)
+
; You can use [[Headless Knoppix]] and run a script to be able to use ssh, or connect a keyboard and type the first commands blind : Connect on of the blackbox's netadapter with your Laptop by a cross-link cable or via a hub/switch. Put in the Knoppix CD and hope that the BIOS is set to CD-Boot first.
+
 
+
 
+
When now Knoppix is booted - you know after loading the bootloader you can
+
use [[Cheat Codes]], type blind "'''knoppix 2'''" and return and Knoppix will boot.
+
From now on, everytime you may make a typo, don't correct it, use
+
Ctrl-C and type it again.
+
 
+
'''Switch to one root shell with'''
+
Alt-Ctrl-F2
+
 
+
'''Change the rootpassword and remember to type it twice(!)'''
+
blind@blackbox#passwd root
+
test
+
test
+
 
+
'''Setup the network, for example:'''
+
blind@blackbox# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
+
blind@blackbox# route add default gw 192.168.0.3 eth0
+
 
+
'''Knoppix has an active firewall, stop it:'''
+
blind@blackbox# rm /etc/hosts.deny
+
blind@blackbox# rm /etc/hosts.allow
+
blind@blackbox# /etc/init.d/inetd restart
+
 
+
'''Warning - I can't explain how to make your system safe - hope that somebody will add this ;)'''
+
 
+
'''Start ssh:'''
+
blind@blackbox# /etc/init.d/ssh start
+
 
+
'''Now go to your Laptop and when you can ping'''
+
user@laptop# ping 192.168.0.5
+
 
+
'''then your network is ok, and you can start a ssh connection:'''
+
  user@laptop# ssh root@192.168.0.5
+
 
+
(if you got problems it is likely that your laptop has
+
an active firewall.)
+
 
+
'''Via the ssh conection you can now start a VNC connection on your blackbox:'''
+
root@0[[/]]vncserver
+
root@0[[/]]vncviewer localhost:1
+
 
+
'''Now you can follow [[Hd Install HowTo]] ;)'''
+
 
+
After the Knoppix HD-install update your Debian(unstable). When you laptop has two networkcards, an internetconnection and I hope a firewall, you can use it as router/firewall for secure your blackbox during you update it. Be root on your laptop:
+
 
+
root@laptop# modprobe iptable_nat<br>
+
root@laptop# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE<br>
+
root@laptop# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
 
+
'''Using a KVM switch:'''
+
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch KVM switch] is a fairly simple apparatus to which you connect cables from your monitor, keyboard, mouse and sometimes loudspeakers and USB which then connects to two or more computers.
+
Switching between computers varies between manufacturers, with some you double-tap Scroll Lock.
+
