HTTP-FUSE-KNOPPIX
HTTP-FUSE-KNOPPIX: "HTTP-FUSE-KNOPPIX is a 'pile-up' KNOPPIX. HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX downloads pieces of Root Filesystem from a HTTP server when the piece is requested, although normal KNOPPIX requires whole 700MB ISO image at first. The piece is 'piled up' on your PC.The first minimum parts of HTTP-FUSE-KNOPPIX are bootloader with 'Linux kernel' and 'miniroot'. The size is only 6MB. The rest of parts 'ROOT file system' which size is 700MB is downloaded on demand as a small piece of block device.
The original block device which includes ROOT file system is split into small data-piece. Each small data-piece is compressed and saved to a file.@The files are called 'split-and-compressed block files'. Split-and-compressed block files is downloaded when it is required. Split-and-compressed block files compose a virtual block device with HTTP-FUSE..
# HTTP-FUSE is based on FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) http://fuse.sourceforge.net/. "
