Howdy. I'm looking a very "unique" distro. I'm looking a distro that will fit on one or FDD's, 2.4 kernel, iptables (for nat/firewall) and supports PCMCIA NICs. That's right, I want a Floppy Firewall that will run off a happyh little laptop with No HDD and No CD.
anyone?
I was following LRP in 2000. They were using 2.2 kernels and having to use special techniques to use more than 1.4MB on the FD. Unsafe IMO. I had little success with it but I was a raw noob back then. With 2.4 I'm not sure what the status is now. Whoa! Major sour grapes. http://www.linuxrouter.org/
Would you consider CDROM with a RAMdisk? More space all around. CDROMs are a 4x cost of FDD (4 X $5 = $20). Same safety attributes - root assaults cured with reset.
These embedded Linuxes might be the new thing in this area. Sorry I missed the White Dwark presentation. The PC/104 stuff is pretty cool. Embedded R-T Linux is high on my todo list.
