using a Linux boot disk to provide Internet access to the public

[Jorge Biquez]

Hello.

Create a boot USB disk with any distro in it with 
the tools to fix it. With it you can fix anything.
I like PUPPY LInux distributions. Works perfectly 
run in machines very old and with even 256K or less of memory.

I hope this helps.
