Remote installation of gentoo with ssh (solved)

Is it possible to install gentoo via ssh.

My 'gentoo computer' is located in my basement and my computer with internet connection is located on the second floor.

I don't want to replace the gentoo computer and I don't want to run between the floors to look in online documentation and to type commands.

I boot from the cd (basic 2004-3) and my network settings are correctly set up. I want to use ssh, but I did a test first by ssh to gentoo itself

(gentoo ip: 192.168.1.185
windows ip: 192.168.1.188)

this is what I did and what the computer returned:

Have you started sshd on the wannabe gentoo?

boot from cd,
change root password,
check network setup:
loaded module of net card,
proper tcp/ip settings.
start sshd via command: /etc/init.d/sshd start

log from other computer via command: ssh IP_of_booted_gentoo

have a nice install.
