thank you very much - I had tomatoes on my eyes ;-) For later reference, I will document all the steps done in the wiki. > I was experimenting with some changes to do this stuff, but I decided > to go another route, which is to make my own initrd, which I then boot > via PXE.

Has someone on this list experiences with this? Is the AMD Geode 800 in the ALIX 2d3 with 256 MB RAM, or with 512 MB RAM in a Soekris 5501 strong enough to handle a OpenVPN-tunnel over a fast (6 MBit/s or 16 MBit/s) DSL-Internet-uplink? I built such OpenVPN-routers on a MIPS-hardware (ASUS WL500g premium) with pure Debian. This works good, but the external USB-stick is point of failure (o man, i can tell you what can happen, if normal office-people are handling such appliances ;-) ), so I wanted to use the nice looking and all-inside ALIX 2d3 ...
