Sure... I can grap the latest snap. I also only have 56k, but I have a
768k DSL at work and there is a burner here too. I have also been very
curious about pf. I think a packet filter in tha hands of the OpenBSD guys
could go places...
Can't an El Torito CD boot on anything that will boot a PC? I think you
just need to make sure you have a kernel for that architecture ready to go
when the machine boots the CD..
