Coyote Linux (http://www.coyotelinux.com/). It's a commercial product for the Windows-admin-able version, but the all-Linux version is free. You download a tarball, run a shell script, answer 5-15 questions (depending on the NICs in the firewall and method of connection to the Internet), and insert a DOS floppy disk. BANG! An Internet router and firewall, no pain killers necessary. Said 486 only needs a NIC, an additional NIC or modem, processor, RAM, and floppy; no hard drive or CD-ROM. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
