I would agree with James here. You could also put m0n0 on a USB device
and boot from that. Based on the way m0n0 is designed, I'd guess it
would be quite a hack to get it to dual boot like that. I personally
had some problems at first getting m0n0 to work on my firewall PC so I
used the CD/Floppy method to experiment and learn and it worked great.
I did that for a while until I was comfortable with m0n0 and that
allowed me to keep the other firewall solution I had on my HDD in place
in case I needed to drop m0n0 for some reason.
