[SLUG] CD-Based Firewall

I have a Coyote firewall that runs on an old 486 and boots from a
floppy. This machine will not boot from a CD-ROM. I'm looking to replace
it with a machine that will boot from a CD-ROM. Because of this, I'm
looking for a firewall distro that boots from a CD-ROM and _does not
require either a floppy or hard drive_. In particular, it must handle
PPPoE, but needn't have anything other than SSH and/or web interfaces
for management. Since we're talking about a machine with no hard drive
or floppy, it has to be capable of being modified on another machine,
and then a new CD burned when one wants to modify the configuration. Let
me state again-- I'm looking for a CD-based firewall that does _not_
require a floppy nor hard drive to operate.

Any ideas?

Paul
