      Handbook Section 2: Download LiveCD, subheading 'Remote Install' states: ' First ensure that sshd is running. You will need to start sshd as follows:' sshd may already be running having been started automatically on boot.

      The Handbook states that in order to conduct a remote installation via SSH, one needs to start sshd by running /etc/init.d/sshd start. I have found this not to be the case; sshd is already started automatically.

      I will fix this by changing the line 'First ensure that sshd is running. You will need to start sshd as follows:' to 'First ensure that sshd is running. You may need to start sshd as follows:' If my access level allows editing the Handbook. I am submitting this bug report as documentation of the change.

       

      The page is protected and I can't edit it. Therefore I am proposing that the word 'will' in the above sentence be changed to 'may', and the qualifier 'if sshd is not started automatically' be added to the end of the sentence.
