Might work. Dunno. Shrug. One of the advantages of the ramdisk is that
it's silent and not prone to mechanical failure. Another is that you can
make the floppy r/o so if you suspect the firewall's been interfered
with, just hit the Windoze, I mean the reset button. Well, actually I'd
check to see what was interfered with first. But if you are just running
it as a packet filter with no logins or user accounts, there are no
hooks they can latch onto to modify the installation. The machines
behind, maybe, depending on how careful you were with the rules.
