Option 1. Run ssh on the clients and ssh in and use mount this is good if you have ssh running on the clients ie for local apps. You should find all the standard admin utils on the client image. (fsck, mount, cp etc) they are all part of busybox. Option 2 Run a terminal on the client (SCREEN_02=shell) then once booted press Ctrl-Alt-F2 and you'll get a prompt where you can do as above. You may need ensure the kernel has the hard disk drivers loaded ie modprobe, Oh and I don't know of grub and fdisk being aprt of the thin client image so you may want to add them.
