Making a router-on-a-disk is easy. I just recently did that on my gateway
box (ISDN one side, ethernet the other). It was pretty simple. I used the
libraries that came in the ftp jail with Redhat (since the supplied
libc.so.6 was so small).
Then I wrote my own "init":
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/bin:.
ldconfig
mount /proc /proc -t proc
insmod /modules/8390.o
insmod /modules/ne.o io=0x240
ifconfig eth0 206.4.67.1
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
syslogd # its just a "*.* @loghost"
insmod /modules/slhc.o
insmod /modules/ppp.o
insmod /modules/bsd_comp.o
insmod /modules/ppp_deflate.o
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/bin/pppd persist connect "/bin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat"
exec /bin/sh
[disk layout]
bin:
ash ifconfig kill mkdir ps sh
cat insmod ldconfig mount route syslogd
chat ipchains ls pppd routed

I'm willing to share the entire package if you wish. Its not for "public

G'day!
