[FreeNX-kNX] Re: Run NX client off of CD [scanned]

[Veit Wahlich]

Hi John,

PXES is a Linux distribution that boots from both CD and network (PXE
and Etherboot) and virtually from everything where you can install a
bootloader with ramdisk support (read: USB stick, too). 
It also already contains the NoMachine NX client (although in a quite
outdated version).
As the images are created on demand containing only the client packages
you want - including LPRng and Samba but currently no cups - modifying
single packages is very easy (i.e. replacing SSH key, adding default
config, etc.). It can also download configuration for Xfree, Samba, ...
and terminal clients via TFTP.

Best regards,
// Veit
