As usual nothing goes as planned .... grrr. Installing on an IBM ThinkPad 360cse.
I chose NetBSD over the Linux tiny firewall distros because it appears to have real good pcmcia support and fits the 16meg ram, 360m hdd, 486 dx-50 configuration of my Thinkpad. Downloaded NetBSD http://www.netbsd.org and did the rawrite thing to create the two floppies, boot1.fs and boot2.fs, as instructed. Started up the TP with boot1.fs in the drive and am getting input/output errors. Am even less familiar with BSD than I am with Linux -- chose this one because it is small and handles pcmcia devices. Help? Thanks! doc ================================================ Have you considered using NetBSD? IIRC NetBSD will install onto a machine with that much memory so you don't need to mess with floppies. For a cut down firewall the 360Mb hard disk is quite ample and NetBSD comes bundled with ipfilter so you can build a firewall. The pcmcia network cards may or may not be supported but it is worth a look IMHO. -- ================================================ Brett Lymn, Computer Systems Administrator, BAE SYSTEMS _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
