I am looking for a way to make a system that is foolproof. The best way I know to do that is eliminate the hard drive and use a CDROM with all the settings burned permanently. I need it to allow a PPP connection and use SCP or SFTP to transfer files. A BBS application with ZModem would also work, but I also need to be able to remotely print to a parallel port printer. For that, I was considering using a printer sharing daemon that would allow a windows98 machine to print to it over the PPP connection. If a BBS was used, I think a script would have to be run to print a file after it was uploaded. The system would also have to be able to mount a USB MMC card reader using VFAT. I think all this could be done with a single floppy. It doesn't matter to me. Either way, all it's going to be used for is retrieving the files on the MMC cards and remotely printing the results.
Can someone point me to some HOWTO's that would get me started?
