I will have to investigate this. I currently use thinstation, which seems to have a similar method with a squashfs image. We usually boot the diskless client and run one app all the time. So accessing the server is no issue. Out of curiosity, how small could the image be? On thinstation, with a graphic desktop, our image is < 8 MB. I would love to use suse as the base as I am more familiar with it than with thinstation. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
