Finally i got squashfs too, like debian live distros but in HD-usb 
instalation. The problem was only at configuring correctly 
live-initramfs and tftp-hpa (i have no experience)

I dont like using live distros they are based on images, is tedious 
adding new software/kernels/configurations  in a permanent way (at least 
for me)

Yes, i am using software that needs to patch the kernel (click router). 
Now i have a custom kernel, an easy way to permanent add software to 
server (apt-get, make...) and a easy way to permanent add software at 
nodes (chroot + ...), totally control configuration files, and upgrading 
the kernel at server and nodes is easy too, and neetbooting. Its more 
more easy working in this environment than with a live distro.
