Promac
From Bashlinux
Since the thin client doesn't have the kernel headers to compile the drivers, and also there is no space to install a big file, is necessary to compile them on a remote host and then install the compiled files on thin client.
To run any executable from USB device is necessary to remount the partition and let the drive has the necessary permissions to read, write and execute files, also these steps are included in this document.
