:(   Well I don't have a spare PC lying around to do this with. It would 
be nice if m0n0wall had a shell in which you could upload files to it to 
test stuff out.

NetBoz has a feature where you can save your files onto the floppy disk 
and once the firewall was up and running, you could make it run a script 
off the floppy which would say, copy your files from the floppy to the 
ram disk.

This way you could extend the features without having to write a new ISO 
image.

I really need to get this DHCP lease extended ... it's either that or 
I'll have to remove m0n0wall and replace it with NetBoz. NetBoz when 
acting like a DHCP server - we never had any dropouts ... so I don't 
know if they implement DHCP differently.
