I've got 4.5-PRE pico on a floppy that boots on a 486/66, but it's *really* tight (<10k available). If I login to the box remotely and try to run anything, it kills the login process so it's pretty useless. With another 4-8MB of memory, the box would actually work pretty well as a dedicated wireless firewall/router/snooper. For now, it works pretty good as a wireless router/simple packet filter. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
