The easiest to setup would be Freesco... However I have had trouble with my cheap NICs with Freesco, so I use Coyote Linux instead... works just as good, but a little less user-friendly to setup...

<< LRP is a very small version of linux, designed to be able to boot off devices as small as a single 1440K floppy disk. LRP makes building and maintaining firewalls, routers, access servers, thin servers, thin clients, network appliances, and embedded systems very easy, as most of the hard work has been done for you. >>

Thanks, I think I am going to use freesco.

But how does it load the driver for the nic cards?

Included in Freesco is a generic driver that works for some common NICs (check their compatibility list on their website to check if yours is supported)...

As for Coyote Linux, you choose which drivers to use when you setup the floppy disk...
