Greetings, The WebBox is a standalone BSDI system designed for personal web browsiing on TV. It contains no hard disk and has a CD drive. Is there a way that I can generate a standalone FreeBSD without hard disk ? What should I do with the swap space area ? Is there a virtual disk system (memory based) in FreeBSD ? If there is a one, can I assign the swap space to a file which resides in the virtual file system ? I have no intention to build a web box. But I want to create a floppy disk with a very small kernel which will run tcpdump so that I can use it as standalone traffic monitor to be used by the school for monitoring student's network traffic. It has to be standalone system and should NOT be downloaded from the network. Basically, the system gets booted up from the floppy disk and starts traffic monitoring. Thank you for your help. Francis
