Special Information
Knoppix, or KNOPPIX is an operating system based on Debian designed to be run directly from a CD / DVD (Live CD) or a USB key (Live USB), one of the first of its kind for any operating system.
Knoppix was developed by Linux consultant Klaus Knopper. When starting a program, it is loaded from the removable medium and decompressed into a RAM drive. The decompression is transparent and on-the-fly.
Although Knoppix is primarily designed to be used as a Live CD, it can also be installed on a hard disk like a typical operating system.
Computers that support booting from USB devices can load Knoppix from a live USB flash drive or memory card.
There are two main editions of Knoppix:
the traditional Compact Disc (700 megabytes) edition and the DVD (4.7 gigabytes) "Maxi" edition.
Each of these main editions have two language-specific editions: English and German.
Knoppix mostly consists of free and open source software, but also includes proprietary software.

We have created our own miniroot.gz file that loads NIC drivers and added it to the ERPXE plugin package.
To create it yourself just boot the KNOPPIX CD and start the KNOPPIX Terminal Server, Check your components and it will be created in /tftpboot/.
Verify files with filelist.txt in each folder.
All Done!
