Networking :: DSL as home adsl gateway box?
yeah. thanks everyone. damnsmall is a bit overkill lol
if anyone else has the same problem i did, i recommend coyote linux: http://www.coyotelinux.com/products.php?Product=coyote, runs a wizard in windows that builds a bootdisk image and everything for you! woot 
don't even have to mess with linux guts to set it up. just gotta find network cards it supports, but if you can do that it's awesome.
A long time ago, I used a little Mandrake distro that was intended only for proxy+firewall
but it needed a hard disk to be installed....
it had not a GUI, but it worked really good in a pentium 233 with only 64Mb RAM, 500Mb hard disk, and two 3Com509 net cards .....
If I find the CD, IŽll gladly give You more info.
Cool, you found coyote before I could tell you about it.
If you ever want to try some other diskless routers:
