(...) That'll get you around stuff like "Keyboard not detected" (or the IBM version, which was "No keyboard present, press <F1> to continue"), or "I have no idea what floppy drive you're talking about", but that BIOS setting won't get you past the (...)

(...) Every Linux firewall I've seen is done differently. I have mine all installed on a write-protected floppy (no HD), I re-compiled syslog to use a different config file, hidden away as inconspicuously as possible, and it logs to my main server. (...)

(...) not that bad - most bioses I saw give an option saying "ignore errors at boot" - it'll still beep, but will move on... then again, I think there actually is some sort of video card installed in the box, though I've no idea, really... :) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) It's something of a cheat; the world doesn't tend to consider the kernel to be a process in and of itself, and with stuff like ipchains you can effectively put all the firewall rules and functionality in the kernel. So you still have a kernel (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) close... a firewall, that you told to shut down - so it's not running any processes at all, no programs are running on it... but it still filters and forwards packets. How can you hack a firewall if you can't launch any process on it? :) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Most likely, that 486 actually has 8 1MB SIMMs under the hood, and it claims it has 7168k or so due to caching ("shadowing") the video BIOS ROM, the system BIOS ROM... ...Being a firewall, you can probably at least get away with turning off (...)
