Re: Snort / Linux on floppy

[roy lo <roylo () sr2c com>]

Here is the link to the one floppy linux
http://www.online-center.com/minux/
But  according to the information on the web page
compressed kernel (285 KB) and the compressed root file system (1160 KB) 
should take up the all disk space on the floppy
But since it run on 4mb ramdisk, I suppose you can remove the boot disk 
and insert another disk with snort binaries on it.

hope this information helps

cheers ;-)
