Smallest TCP/IP stack?

[motorollin]

Hi guys

Does anyone know which Amiga TCP/IP stack takes up the lease room once installed? I'm thinking of making a network bootdisk which would start the TCP/IP stack, use smbfs to mount a network volume, and then boot from the network.

Cheers!

Thanks. I just had a look at Termite, but it only seems to work with serial.device. It wouldn't work with fastethernet.device. I tried installing the updates but it wouldn't let me install the patch without entering a serial number.

If AmiTCP won't fit on a floppy, I think I will have to make a boot CD with OS3.9 on it and run Genesis.

Yes I agree a boot floppy mounting a CD mounting a network drive is clumsy. I need a way to back up my whole system. I used to back up on to a CDRW which then had a boot floppy. It worked really well, and gave me a complete bootable backup of my whole system. Now the contents of my hard drive is too much to fit on a CD, so I need something larger. The best way I can think of doing this is to mount a network drive to my MacBook and use it as a backup "drive".

@golem
Yes the idea is similar, except I need a whole TCP/IP stack, Mediator drivers, Fast Ethernet drivers and smbfs :-o

@Thomas
I don't have a Zip drive or USB support. Otherwise I would put an OS3.9 installation on a Zip disk or USB drive and boot from that. It's a shame there's not a BlizKick module to boot from CD. I could incorporate that in to my 3.9 ROM and cold boot from CD.

Check your PM :-)
