looking for a live distro for a damaged computer

[Erez D]

hi

A friend of mine has a damaged laptop - no display (not even via the VGA
connector). i want to use it as a server.
to do that i need access it first. but i have no display ...

I am looking for a live distro (CD) that will automatically (without needing
keyboard / mouse / display ) connect to the network (via ethernet & dhcp)
and run sshd.

my other options are:
1. modify a live cd to do that
2. install linux on a different computer, and then transfer the hard-drive
to the broken laptop.

however, i prefer to have a live distro that does that already.

anyone knows of duch a distro ?

10x,
erez.
