    I was unaware that booting from network is possible. That is pretty cool.

    After installing raspbian on the SD card and trying to access the directories on my windows pc I was getting an error for incompatible file system and it just wouldn't work no matter what I tried.
    I'm pretty noob at this, but I do have some options and will try again. The major problem is I can't get it to display on my television. Has to do with the default resolution in the config causing display error, but it should be an easy fix once I have access to the directory. I found it's a common problem when using older displays.

    Once I'm able to ssh in I shouldn't need a display anyway really.

    EDIT: Yeah it's a pi 3. Been collecting dust for some years now and I want to utilize it for learning networking and server application.

      Network Boot Tutorial:
      https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/net_tutorial.md

      (Most people won't use network boot unless you have a few, but it is doable).

      For windows, you should be able to access the "boot" partition only. This is where a lot of the start up config files are. You just need an empty file named "ssh" to enable SSH.

      Almost all of my Raspberry Pi's I setup without a monitor ever.

      You need to install OS on SD, edit the boot partition to enable SSH (add the empty file), then use nmap to find the Pi's DHCP ip. Then from there I can configure it.

      Thank you so much for the resource and tips @themarkymark.
      I'll start working on this tonight and make a post detailing the process once I get it complete.
      I need an excuse for sucking out in the weekend GU tournament anyway ;)
