Thanks for that response. Im a diskless/zero client setup. I use a remastered version of KNOPPIX and after the remaster I copy the "big Knoppix" file to my CentOs pxe server. My clients boot via pxe and then load the big knoppix file. I love the hardware detection with Knoppix and its speed. Keep in mind I run this on over a 1000 devices/pcs here. I would be happy to run LMint if I could convert it to the posix file like knoppix and get the same hardware detection. Maybe you know a way? Ive attempted squashfs via a Debian image but hardware detection isnt as good, which forces me to find drivers that are sometimes hard to find.
