We were running OpenBSD firewalls that booted off the CD. I'm sure as to
the details and problems, but I'll forward this to the guy that created them
and see if he'll provide the details/problems. So to answer your question,
yes.

Hi,
I tried it out and it works. I used it for nearly a year, until I set up
an OpenBSD box to replace it. It had the same basic benefits and
shortcomings of Linux. I really like the single floppy idea. You can make
as many copies as you want and you can set the write protect tab to make
sure it cannot possibly be written to. Also, it will run on a surplus PC
without a hard drive.
I always wanted to try the same thing with a bootable CD-ROM for a heavier
O/S like a full Linux distro or BSD. Anyone try this?
