This is not about turn on a computer with a right click, lol I'm not that big of a n00b

So what I wanted is to be albe to do is to turn on a computer/turtle, with another computer/turtle…
Is there any way?

You know, so you can place a computer and a disk drive with a disk next to it and then start the computer with the disk's startup file.
Is that possible? Or can computers only be turned on by right clickin'?

if they're next to eachother, they can wrap eachother as peripherals and use the turnOn method.

ex:

--place a computer in front of me
turtle.place()
--wrap it
local newComp=peripheral.wrap("front")
--turn it on
newComp.turnOn()

There is also a way with the Perp cables where you just activate it like any other perp.
