25 This could be done without too much trouble by creating a custom gentoo
26 livecd. I'm interested in this as well, for the same reasons. I have
27 quite a bit of old boxes lying around that would serve as good
28 firewalls, but I'm running out of HDDs. You can reply to me privately if
29 you like, and we could work on this together, make a little project out
30 of it. Let me know if you'd like to do this.
