Booting a thin client from USB device



We want to be able to boot a thin client from USB to any windows
(98/xp/2000/xpe). These machines have a CF preloaded with Linux and all our
softwares and diagnostics are in windows. It not practical for us to swap out
the CF cards so we need a way to test these from outside. If nothing works
even an USB CD image is an option..but we want to have a way where we can
boot it to desktop and test a few things..
Thanks
Sid
