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. regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
