NanoBSD :: smallest image size

2009-02-19 Thread Paul Procacci
Hello list, I have an old machine I just acquired that I was thinking of replacing my current FreeBSD firewall/router with. It's a Celeron 500+ Mhz machine with 32 Megs of ram, and a 10G hard drive. I am(was) initially thinking about taking out the 10G, and using the flobby disk drive to

Yeah, I realize it's more powerful than necessary to handle the task...though my current firewall/router is a 860+ Mhz PIII w/ 128 Megs of ram. So, this would be a downgrade for my current firewall/router which allows me to repurpose the existing machine for something more computationally

even so, im not so sure alot of people with to run a full install on a firewall, for various reasons. If I was doing it, Id go with a CF card, or USB, though age of system might make that unreliable. even pfsense can run straight off cdrom, makes a decent option also. On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at
