[edit] What is fli4l
fli4l is a linux-based router software for ISDN, DSL and ethernet. The default configuration fits on a 3.5" floppy disk. It runs on any x86-based computer - a 486 with 16MB of RAM is sufficient for most uses.
The bootable floppy disk can be created under Linux and Windows.
fli4l can be extended using several modules. The official packages provide functionality to connect to encrypted networks over the internet VPN, filter contents from websites proxy or use fli4l in a virtual machine XEN. There is a database at the fli4l site for user contributed packages contributed as well.
