Everything that you say one can do from a CDROM, one can do from flash. CDROM technology gains you nothing.
Depends on what flash you use. There's no way to write protect compactflash. CDROM technology gains you security in the case where m4d h4x0r roots your router and tries to stomp all over the system files. The lack of moving parts is attractive though, but since you only use the cdrom occasionally, I suspect you wont gain much in MTBF. -Dan -- [-] Omae no subete no kichi wa ore no mono da. [-]
