Chris,

Take a look at:

  http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/

Firewall on 1 floppy (distant Debian cusin) based on kernel 2.4.17 /
busybox / iptables / dns-server / dhcp server and client. I'm very
pleased with it. Tested it today (from the outside). Used nmap and
nessus. The only thing that reveals its existance is ping (which you
can switch off too). Very easy configuration (edit one file on the
floppy).


Cheers,
Cristian
