If you can stick in a USB external CD drive instead of the internal SATA CD drive you should be good to go. > Neither had ever heard of Checkpoint creating a custom SPlat ISO image > for a customer. > > Is the custom ISO a myth?

If you can sell a couple of dozen of firewalls if they can support the hardware and you loose the deal without it then you might get a custom image. They will not do this for free. On the other hand I have in effect recreated such a CD at least once in the past. The hard bit is to build the exact kernel driver for a 2.6 kernel. But with the 2.4 kernel it is a breeze.
