Floppyfw is a Linux firewall. It is a router with the advanced
firewall-capabilities in Linux that fits on one single floppy disk.
We'll be demonstrating ease of set-up using a Windows computer to
download and create the floppy to use on a blank pentium box with two
eth cards and no HD. Firewall will be automatically configured. We'll
also show how to overcome the size limitations of the floppy while
adding packages using Brian Freeman's new post-wpk package. Copies of
this package will be made available. Requirements & features of Floppyfw
include: - Works on a 386sx or better with two network interface cards,
a 1.44MB floppy drive and 12MByte of RAM - Very simple packaging system,
can be used for adding editors, PPP, VPN, traffic shaping, etc. -
Logging through klogd/syslogd, both local and remote. - Serial support
for console over serial port. - DHCP server and DNS cache for internal
networks.
