Are you going to give out any autographed copies? :-D

I have created a single-diskette distribution that installs the base
configuration of a VPN firewall based on the Linux Router Project (LRP,
www.linuxrouter.org), a compact Linux distribution that can fit on asingle,bootable floppy diskette. The distribution here is essentially Charles
Steinkuehler's Eiger disk image with Steinkuehler's IPSec-enabled kernelandLRP IPSec package. Firewalling is carried out through Linux ipchains. This
particular version is based on the 2.2.16 kernel of Linux. Thisdistributionis called DUCLING (Diskette- based Ultra Compact Linux IPSec Network
Gateway). Compact Linux distributions have a twisted history. LRP
technically refers to Dave Cinege's compact distribution. There are many
variants around, including Charles Steinkuehler's distribution(EigerStein)of Matthew Grant's defunct Eiger version (lrp1.steinkuehler.net). Another
such distribution is David Douthitt's Oxygen
(leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=900&page_id=1). Also, there is LEAF
(Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall), a developer's umbrella that tries to
coordinate releases and documentation, sort of like a one-stop shop for
compact Linux distributions (leaf.sourceforge.net). I use the term LRP to
refer to the compact Linux distribution presented here, even though somemayconsider this terminology incorrect.

Very cool! I'll have to buy "seven copies for my mother" ;-) (I don't think
she subscribes...)
I guess I'll have to make a version based on 1.91. It might even fit on a
1680K floppy, with all the space saved in the kernel and root.lrp.
