Hi all.  My Linux router died, so I need to build another.  I'm
interested in using a 486 I have handy.  What's a good floppy firewall
distro? My requirements are:

-I'm on cable, DHCP.
-I would like to run DHCP as a server for my home network
-I have to use a Winblowz machine to actually write the firewall floppy.

I tried floppyfw, But it would not boot on my 486.  Came up with
"Loading intrd.gz...  Boot failed: please change disks and press a key
to continue".  I tried a standard boot disk on this 486, and it worked
fine.

Help would be appreciated...

Richard
