i am looking to desgin a router VIA linux i have all the required gear to do it!
but i desperatly require a basic GUI that allows me to configure it for PPPOE
and setup the user and password. Etc

I have Been Trying to do this for a while but all i have is PicoBSD on a floppy disk and would like to be able to place it on a old 512 hdd!

IF anyone can Provide me with any information and a review and personal opinion of it I would be forever greatful!

Thanks in advance

I'd reccomend coyote linux. Its a floppy based distro geared for making a cheapo router outa lowend hardware, which i assume is what you're doing. I might be able to give you some help, i had a router/server/firewall runnin coyote on a 386 and some ISA NICs, but i really didn't do much of the setup itself, so i dont know how much help i could be. Fun project, but it was replaced with a linksys wireless router w/ 4 port switch once i got my laptop.
