Hi Terry, I work in a company that uses a Firewall appliance, the box uses a flash card with 64MB running Conectiva Linux 6.0 with a "really minimal installation". Can I install fedora in 64MB (just the kernel and iptables), since the minimal instalation uses ~510MB? -- Lujan, Fernando <lujanfernando@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
