well, in this moment, this micro distro run in a diskett, but I will
try to setup to run from a tftp server (like ltsp).
That the space is very important, I can not use a dhcp client in this
distro to set up the network interface, so, I define in static way on
the fly with ifconfig, then we need create one distro for each client,
is no problem! just a bit slow in the implementation, but is just only
one time...
Sorry for my bad english

Great!
I just finish and send you 10 personalized copies for 10 clients! and
if I this these days run via tftp, I tell you how make it!
