I am looking to build a compute workstation. I want to install the newest version of Scientific Linux. The issue is that the currently planned hardware does not include graphics (external or integrated) I have tried googling if installing linux in runmode 3 is possible without a graphics chip, however I have found conflicting information. I have seen sources (none of the very reliable) stating:
- It is impossible (failure to POST)
- It will fail to POST, but there are BIOS work arounds
- It will work without issue
What I am wondering, is would it be possible to boot a different computer with a USB install of SL, modify the install to boot into runmode 3 and enable remote access, then boot/install the server with the USB.
I hate to ask the obvious question, but - would it not be possible to install the O/S with a graphics card installed and then remove it once everything is configured to your liking? – Fopedush – 2012-08-23T15:51:16.617
