Simple thing: built a boot floppy containing a *non-ramdisk* custom kernel, very stripped down. In addition a customized crunchgen/crunchide binary and a /.profile which configured things. Most changes were to be made by re-building the floppy, but that was okay for a simple two-NIC bridge. I like having the source available + some cool examples (e.g. the crunch stuff used for install floppies too), even if I'm on my own with it. Like the words "if it breaks you get to keep the two pieces" ;-) >Nick. Kind regards, Hannah.
