As more and more system on the market don't have any floppy drives
anymore, wouldn't it be a good idea to make a leaf-distribution that can
be stored on an USB-stick (e.g. with unetbootin). Of course the BIOS
must be prepared to use the USB-port to boot from but modern BIOSystems
can do it.
I'm thinking syslinux can boot from USB and the Bering distribution does
include an initrd with USB support.
But the whole point of having a floppy bootable system is that you can
write inhibit floppy disks. Therefore, IF someone hacks into your system
he can never make any permanent changes.

I formatted a usb pen and then copied all on it.
Only things to have are usb modules and scsi modules into boot/modules

Gordon,
nowadays there are a lot of SD-Cards which have this kind of switch
some of them can be bought with an usb adapter.
What about using this sort of equipment?

That would be the first thought. Both MMC and the full size SD cards
have the write inhibit switch. Only problem is that I don't know of any
card reader that allows booting from the inserted flash memory.
So to us this you'd need one of those IDE to CF adapters and then insert
a CF to SD
Hej all,
I'm hopeful to get a tip concerning my routing problem:
My Workstation is in net 192.168.23.0. This net is connected to internet
and dmz (192.168.24.0) by a leaf-bering-hglibc-box called router 1
(192.168.23.253) which also is dhcp and dns server for my workstation.
Now I added another
