Bootable cf card with MailScanner {Scanned}

[David Shaw]

Well I work with iPrism a URL filter.  At boot up we load into memory then
unmount the scandrive. (64mb drive) We remount to change the config. m0n0wall
(http://m0n0.ch/wall) is a firewall that bootups in to memory as will. They
also have a CD-ROM that I use that I can pull it out at anytime. I just
thought it would be nice for upgrades? burn a new iso to a cd-rom or cf card
reboot. Done thats it. Anyways I don't know how do it, but KNOPPIX looks like
I can play around with it.
