Installation configuration

[Mike]

I can give that a try. My concern is that I will miss some subtle thing
resulting from the significant difference between the machine I use to build
the system and the target machine.

Perhaps another direction. To your knowledge is there some install script
that I can tailor for the target machine? I would make a HDD that looks like
a CD and have it boot and install without intervention.

Any thoughts?

Mike

With the HD in a machine that does have a keyboard and display, install
a minimal installation -- just enough to boot to runlevel 3 and access
the network.  If you have dhcp available, that would probably make
things easier.  Once you have a working installation on the HD, move the
HD to the other machine, let it boot and then ssh in to a terminal
session.  From there you should be able to optimize the installation to
suit your needs, using network-aware tools (up2date/yum/apt/whatever) to
install new packages as required.
