That's true. First I had used Trinux for installing Clients via FD over  
the net - 1 disk for 20 Clients.
Now many clients have no FD drive, but they have CD and USB. Knoppix is  
a very fine tool, but it can too much for such a job. And the CD is  
blocked in 1 client until shutdown.

And USB: in schools (where I work) there are still many computers which  
can't boot from USB.

I have to look for PXE boot too - I know ...

That are the niches I want Trinux to use.

------------

I know - it's a very special environment. But Trinux is a tool for many  
clients within a LAN (or WAN), no tool for a single desktop computer at  
home.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
