If you just need NX, try the free 2X or thinstation boot CD. Both can be install on a Flash memory card. Thinstation http://thinstation.sourceforge.net Free (GPL) 2X boot CD (it's the defunct PXES project) http://www.2x.com/pxes or http://pxes.sourceforge.net/ regards xavier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
