My hope is that this will simplify the creation of a Thin Client image loads completely to RAM, or a NFSROOT mount. I currently have had no luck with KIWI in doing so.

My end result is too set up my kids rooms with ThinClients that use 14watts, have no hard drive, and 2GB of ram running OpenSuSE 11.
