Hubert, I got the DC to boot off CD and mount the HPCSH distro as the root
FS.  What problems are you encountering?  I was also thinking about the
following:

1) using a VMU for system configuration and as a r/w fs
2) using apache as a remote configuration tool (write some cgi's or
something)
3) put a nice flamejob sticker on the DC :)

I read somewhere a reference to only needing 1 NIC to have a
firewall.  Does anyone know any issues with this?

Andy
