Is there any way to install either slackware or > debian via telnet? You might try using the trml live cd. It supports both software speech from the live cd and starting up an ssh server with boot parameters. Once you have the live cd up and running you can then bootstrap a debian install on the hard drive. I'm not sure about installing grml to the hd though because then AFAICT its not a straight upgrade path to a debian system. If you absolutely need telnet rather than ssh I think you can start the telnet service from the boot prompt as well, but I don't know how off hand. - -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
