This afternoon I tried the DSL-assisted HD install of m0n0wall referenced in
my note below.
Worked great: I substituted an old 500Mb HD for the one with the Ubuntu
7.10 OS. DSL ran just fine from the CD and found the network right away. I
downloaded the image file and stored it in RAM. Then I unzipped it and
installed it on the substitute HD. Rebooted (and removed the DSL CD) and
there was m0n0wall running on the hard disc. Pretty slick.
This evening I got around to configuring it and got the web-based interface
up. I duplicated (as best as I could remember) the configuration that Lee
had installed about a month ago in Marble Falls. Rebooted.
Hard drive failed. Sigh.
I have another HD (much newer - and larger too). Tomorrow is another day.
I am now pretty sure that this will eventually end up with compact flash as
the storage medium...
