Oke thank you but I think is not easy to do.I have another question.Can I boot a Thin Client Evo T30 with a 2Mbit Bios from a PCMCIA Cardbus.I bought a CF adapter and hooked up a CF 4Gb.I flashed Puppy on it in a normal Pc.Puppy boot on the CF card nice.Then I placed the CF card in the adapter en put it in the T30.The message I get is "unknown card in socket 1".What could be the problem......4Mbit Bios?Thank you all!

Sorry couldn't help more, I'm not intimately familiar with your setup. If you have floppy or cd/dvd available, there are other options. (you can use floppy or optical media to bootstrap onto the hd.... perhaps borrow an external if you have access)
