Why not try something like Pebble linux from http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble It is a stripped down Debian install that is aimed at running a wireless hotspot but it is just Debian and you can install whatever you want. It fits on a 64MB flash card but if you install almost anything you will want a 128MB one. It does come with iptables and iproute2 tools as I recall.

I''ve built some boxes for QoS that work wonderfully. Much thanks to everyone''s work on this project. Citrix + Videoconferencing are working great. Thing is, I''d really like to not rely on the old 4GB drives in these machines. I would like to build a kernel small enough to put on a 32 or 64 MB flash (compressed). Fedora Core 1, minimal install + bridge-utils is still around 500 MB (will probably be about 1/3 that compressed). TIA -Ron
