Hi,

I�ve tried MNF before but for the time I considered using just shorewall for 
my home network.

It�s been great and, that�s the point to consider now.

Currently I have 1 PII-400 w/ 512 Ram and 2 hd, cd-rw and cd-player with 
Mdk9.2 as a firewall and mail server. ADSL dhcp connection.

The intended config is as follow:

I have 1 old machine Pentium 266 w/ 64 ram and 2 hd and cd-player (all of them 
have also floppy)

I would like to use this machine for my future firewall only (I can see no 
other use for it!). Too big for paper-weight ;-)

So, is it possible to install MNF on such machine?
(no GUI required! CLI would be fine!)

I�ve heard about distributions based on boot-from-CD method, but I would like 
to stick with mdk and shorewall.

I intend to move the mail server (and everything else to the and athlon (?) 
1.6 and leave the PII-400 for my daughter (windows user, yet!)

Any hint on that 'poor old� machine?

Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods.
