I am interested in purchasing some cheap PC (e.g., wal-mart special) to use for a server. Is there anything special I would need to do to boot up Fedora on such a device, with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse attached? (I know the monitor and mouse should not be a problem, but in the past I've seen machines that wouldn't pass POST without a keyboard).
Neal,
As others have suggested, most new PCs bios will let you boot without a keyboard. If not, take apart an old keyboard. Remove the small circuit board and place in a Radio Shack project box. Then hang this dongle off the back of your PC. I've done this for E-Smith boxes in the past.
Thanks,
Dale
