As it seems as if in the end we'll eliminate BusyBox :)

Despite it's use during startup, why do we need to use it anyways?
We really don't have a limit in size. 650MB is quite much and if I
remember correct we currently use about 50MB on CD.

I think so, too.
Busybox is really a great program, but it is better for embedded 
Systems, like Linux on a PDA, and not for a Firewall on CD.

I will start today or tomorrow and replace the Init System, because I 
wanted to do it anyway.
This should be the only critical part.

We have currently 30 MB. ;-)
The problem is more the RAM, but RAM is cheap and let's say: minimum 64 MB for Devil-Linux.

I think we could just declare that this is our minimal RAM footprint.
Some might not be so happy with that, but we want to provide a 
versatile system to make a lot more users happy.

Yes, exactly.
I have some good plans with DL, for example I want to replace as many 
Servers as possible in my company with a DL box.
This means, that the use of DL is going much further than an ordinary 
firewall/router, but still an easy system which is good and fast to 
maintain.
But this is getting a bit off topic. ;-)

Hmmm...just half an hour ago, I suggested to a friend that we could
subvert DL to be a samba fileserver. There seems to be no limit - not
in ones mind.
And to kick NT out, I would do everything ;-)

But as you already said, we are getting a bit off topic.

Yes samba is on the needed list.
Oh, feature request....

Yes, but this way the ideas come into our heads.
