Hello,

I've built several gentoo based firewall and have been pretty
happy with them. Since I use older hardware, the eventual 
hard drive failures are a problem.

I am looking for input as to the best method to use to get
a gentoo based (iptables) firewall onto a bootable CD,
so I do not have to rely on hard drives any more.
a USB stick based gentoo firewall (micro) distro
would also be of interest.


Any suggestions?



James
