I did consider running it off a straight cd, but I alter my routes 
enough through various tunnels I have established that this would be a 
pain.  (i.e. updating vtund configs)  The disk-on-module is spot on and 
that's what I'll probably use: $14 bucks for 128 Megs w/ NanoBSD I 
believe is goingn to suffice nicely.

Thanks Guys!
