I gotta ask...
Why would you use something OTHER than a floppy distribution for a
firewall?
but if you need more space, just build the software you need (a kernel,
sysvinit, a shell, maybe login, sshd, syslog, ipchains, etc.) and put it
on a CD. You set everything up with init scripts anyway and your only
disk is read-only. If you get hacked, just hit the big red button and
you're back to where you started.
I don't understand why people want a hard disk in their firewalls.
