Yeah, a single floppy firewall option is nice. I saw something
around on the net before, and I'm sure it's possible to do with NetBSD.
But I must say, I did need the extra space to add the PPPoE driver
(for my ADSL line), and two other little bits for the firewall. It is nice
knowing I have the space, if I need it for some odd reason. I probably could
trim it down now that I got it running...
