@Sgt_Oddball:

I suggested a live CD so that you don't have to install anything. Maybe some packages need to be downloaded (into RAM), so it might take longer, but I'm sure it's all in the READMEs.

As for doing it on a server: don't! Stick a USB key into your laptop or whatever spare PC is to hand, boot from it, do the stuff needed to generate the cert and then copy it onto the secure server. It's not like you're going to be running this stuff (or any other configuration experiments) on a live production server, is it?
