===== Headless installation ===== **Normal wired network headless installation** If you would like to use Berryboot without having a display attached, open the file named **cmdline.txt** located on the SD card in a text editor, and append the following settings to the same line as the other options: <code> vncinstall ipv4=192.168.88.88/255.255.255.0/192.168.88.1 </code> The network information is in IP/netmask/gateway format.\\ You can then start a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnc|VNC]] client program on your normal computer, and connect to the IP-address you specified. **Wireless headless installation** To start a headless installation using wifi, append to **cmdline.txt** on the same line as the existing options: <code> vncinstall ipv4=192.168.88.88/255.255.255.0/192.168.88.1/wlan0 </code> And create a file called **wpa_supplicant.conf** on the FAT partition of the SD card with the wifi SSID and password in the following format: <code> ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="ssid-of-accesspoint" psk="wpa-password" } </code> **Known issues** The VNC client you are using must request 24-bit color (*not* 256 colors palleted mode). TightVNC and krdc work fine by default, for RealVNC make sure you enable FullColour in the settings: {{ :berryboot:local_berryboot_repo_on_network_share.png?300 |}} Using a VNC client that requests the wrong amount of colors, will crash the application (displaying an "emergency recovery shell" on screen). ===== See also ===== * [[:berryboot|Main Berryboot page]]
