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-KNOPPIX selects ROOT file system at boot time.
