Yeah, I'm familiar with this. I even own a Soekris box for my firewall. However, I need something with more CPU power and the ability to take a TDM400 card. So I'm really trying to make the plain vanilla PC that I presently use into something that's more robust. I'd like to eliminate the HD and make certain that it reboots quickly into a fully running * server. I see that the Xorcom Rapid ISO sets up the core of what I need. Then I just have to tweak the installation for my * config. It says that it requires 600 MB of HD space. With 1 GB CF cards under $100 I'm thinking that this is a route I could pursue. I don't need much VM storage so the lack of a HD is no problem. Michael -- Michael Graves [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Product Specialist www.pixelpower.com Pixel Power Inc.
