Hi Saurabh,

Thanks, yes it is a little annoying that a monitor is initially needed,

but afterwards it can be removed and used like any other server, just using the network to

access it with SSH.

Hi Sumit,

To summarize, as people have mentioned, today the 'NOOBs' software image does require a display (either HDMI or RCA/phono style connector) and some form of input (USB keyboard and/or mouse, possibly both). If you're using the RCA (phono style) connector, then a key needs pressing to enable the display, so then a keyboard is mandatory.

After the initial install/config, you can discard the display and input devices, and use SSH as you wish.

Just a mouse is enough, no need for a keyboard... And everybody has a mouse...

In simple what the above is saying is that for the initial setup you will need a keyboard and mouse.

It would be nice to see a headless multi distro image sometime soon.

You could use a common TV connected to RCA output, and select a key during boot to force that output. Off course, you need a keyboard to select the key. Or you could install NOOBS once with keyboard and input, select SSH, dhcp, etc, and the do image copies from that installation.

HDMI connection into a monitor/TV and a USB mouse...
