I've been using FreeBSD almost 4 years now and while I know alot, I certainly don't know it all. For example I just started to hear about floppy based setups last year and only this morning figured out what PicoBSD was all about. So I tried downloading the files and have yet to work out the details, but I feel I'll get there. I do have the following questions I was hoping someone can answer quickly before I proceed: 1. I see there are 3 basic modules, ppp, network and router. I have all three files but was not sure if I will be able to run all three modules from a single floppy. That is I want to boot from floppy and run a NAT gateway for a small LAN to the Internet. Is this possible? 2. Will this setup work with a modem set for COM3, IRQ5 or do I have to compile a special kernel like I did for 4.2-REL to use this same modem? 3. After several hours of researching the LinuxRouter stuff and PicoBSD I found several dead links and the usual intructions that require more than my level of experience. Is there a comprehensive site for newbies and intermediates on PicoBSD? For example, one of the PicoBSD docs instructs to get the file picobsd.tgz but try as I may at all the known FTP site, I could not find this file available. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
