You should be able to do this with 16, and probably 8.... The stuff simply isn't that big, especially if you strip it (dunno if it does this by default.) If I can get diskless X terminals running in 16 megs, a router shouldn't be that hard - make sure your kernel doesn't have extra junk in it, and kill any programs that you don't need... mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
