router customization

[dwatkins]

Well i had a router running rh9.0, ran great configured it and forgot it,but the hdd failed.
I was able to save some configs (iptables,named,dhcp, etc) and i don't want to have to buy a new drive.
So how easy would it to be to use knoppix either through customizing it, or just doing a little configuring, to reference the files i already have.
The goal being that it can reboot and i dont have to touch it, it will all be automagic. I realize if i ever wanted to add things i would probably have to reburn the disc but that is a later consideration.

Well since it is all Linux it should be similar. You will probably have to adjust the config files to match the Knoppix names. Have you checked out IPCop? It is a distro designed to be a broadband NAT/Gateway/Router and is very easy to install. In fact they also have a way of backing up the config files so that if your HD failed again, a simple restore of the config files would bring it back to life.
I hope this helps.
