Operating OS X without a mouse

How to bring up remote desktop on Mac OS X without having a mouse so that you can operate the machine remotely:
option + spacebar, type terminal
This opens spotlight and starts a terminal.
sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on
This enables ssh so you can log in remotely.
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -restart -agent -privs -all
This enables remote desktop so you can log in from another mac, and use the mouse on that one to finish the rest of your configuration.
