You could even go diskless with either a floppy boot or a network boot. However, diskless firewalls aren't a good idea. If and when you actually _need_ the firewall, you are going to want logs, copious logs, of the activity. It's not a big breach of security to log over the net, but I assume you want your other computers off. Of course, you could have the best of both worlds by always shutting the router/firewall down when the main workstation is off. Then you net boot the router from the workstation. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
