RE: Debian router (compressed FS needs)

[ttresanti@tiscali.it]

Hi

I agree with you about your request.

This week I sent to Vadim a script to build a complete debian-router distro
so that
it can act as a router/firewal/ids etc. etc.
I compressed the usr directory with the cramfs (RO fs), and with the kernel
2.6.5 in total it's 37MB.
Your system how many MB is it?

regards
TT
