I would agree that option [2] would likely be the better of the two choices. You are about as far along with a Zebra/LEAF disk as I was when thinking about something similar several months ago. I know that Zebra isn't going to fit on a floppy, but SSL is a huge package that could present problems as well as benefits in the long run. Statically linking the library simply limits the drawbacks to including the entire library. It will work either way, but I would suggest drawing off of WISP-DIST architecture, since you are going to end up with a non-floppy image. This architecture adds several safety features not available with other current LEAF variants. The bright side is that your probably not going to have to worry about firewalling anything, just securing the router! ;-) -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
