Is there a way to Remote Install or administer (not the FreePBX interface) trixbox from a Mac computer?

I'm referring to after the initial install and network settings, adding things like "install-pdf" or other such things from a remote mac computer? Something like telnet....

And if so, what should I be looking for....

Again, thank you.

Thank you, 14 tries later I was able to figure out what the ssh command line wanted...

For others needing this info mine worked as follows:
Open a terminal window
type in "ssh user@machine"
for me that was "ssh root@192.168.1.150"
or said another way type ssh "a space" username at macine IP
It asked if still wanted to be connected because of no RSA key, I said yes. (local closed network so I guess I'll be ok)
Then it asked for a password, gave the one I used during install.

Wow, the screen came up just like being there!

Again, Thank you!

There is also an SSH Java applet that you can install as well in the Web interface if need be.

At the current time, I do not believe there is a way to perform a network install of Trixbox. That being the case, you need to physically put the CD into the server to start the install. And even then, networking hasn't been initialzed yet, so there's no way to see what's going on during the install process (or to press that curcial first [Enter] key press).
