Not bad (although the link is misspelled).  My goal is to make a 
"diskless" station, though I do have some flash to work with.  I have an 
old i-opener and a couple of the IBM netvistas that were acquired a 
while back.  Would like to do something like http://webconverger.com/, 
but I want to attach a USB wireless NIC.
