@thaibill:
on your linux desktop, as your user (not as root!):

Code:

ssh-keygen

Answer the prompts. I don't bother using a password. It's up to you, though. Now, copy the key over USB to your internal sd card in your tablet:

Code:

cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /media/disk/

Now, on the n8x0/770, as user, type this in xterm:

Code:

cd /home/user
mkidir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
cat /media/mmc2/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
