Webserver on disk - testers wanted

[Ulrich Babiak]

Hi all,

I am looking for a couple beta testers for a little thingy
i have assembled. It's called Webserver-auf-Diskette 
(webserver-on-a-disk) and is meant to be a free & foolproof
backup webserver on a single floppy disk.
If you have some maintenance to do on your "real" webserver,
you have to replace it temporarily or your users/customers see annoying
error messages. Webserver-auf-Diskette is a tiny, yet complete Linux
system based on the DLX distribution. It comes with a preconfigured
CERN httpd. 

All you have to do is to boot any 486 PC from the disk and issue one
command to assign the IP address and netmask - that's all. Whatever
operating system you have on the PC will not be affected (but you
can mount partitions if you wish).

So while this is meant to be used by non-unix folks, I would like
one or two Linux-savvy people to look over it. What do you think?
Just drop me a line and I'll send you the disk image.

Requirements: 
at least 486-DX PC  (coprocessor necessary)
3com or ne2000-compatible network card
a big email-inbox (as the disk image has 1.3 Megs)

Bye,
Ulrich
