You could see how others have done it by searching for LRP or Linux Router Project of which there are several variant projects and versions which work off one floppy (some allow non-standard formats for more room). I just heard a lecture on it. (The HTML lecture slides should be on gslug.org by next weekend, but there's lots of info elsewhere.) Names -- seawall.sourceforgge.net; La Brea Tarpit; Oxigen; Dachstein CD; Freesco; Coyote Linux; FrazierWall; The demo I saw ran a program which asked for some config info and built the floppy. Then after booting the floppy it had another config program which allowed changes to the config which could be saved back to the floppy. Has optional telnet and optional sshd. The demoer didn't know about logging, but I suppose it can keep it in RAM disk or syslog it to another system (in the demoed system with no hard disk).
