You can do the rest through SSH, but if you prefer graphical interfaces, then yes, you might find it easier to boot it far enough to configure VNC. Hint: if you've got a spare keyboard knocking about, and you envisage turning this thing off much, you might care to leave a keyboard plugged in. Sometimes it's easier to reboot it using Ctrl-Alt-Delete. -- James Wilkinson | "The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the Exeter Devon UK | language is that of Microsoft, which I will not utter E-mail address: james | here.
