Re: Snort / Linux on floppy

Hi,

I want to set up a Linux box with Snort but when I first are going to do
it, I want to do it right. Is it possible to run Linux and Snort from a
single floppy?

I would imagine so.  I managed to get a 1.8 Snort running on one of our low end router products (at the cost of a lot 
of other functionality of course) which only has 1meg of non-volatile memory of which 900k is available for an image.

I've just tried (building only, not running) 2.0.0 sans rules sets and it fits with a 2.0 kernel.


Regards,

Pauli
