Background:
My company recently de-installed and discarded dozens of these little Nortel Contivity 1010
VPN devices. I pulled one apart and discovered it's basically a tiny Intel Celeron PC with
no keyboard/mouse interface, one serial console port, and two 10/100 Ethernet ports.
I decided it would be fun to get Linux to run on one so I could play with it... maybe use it as a small firewall, router, or OpenVPN endpoint.
NEW: My hardware notes on the C1010, in case you want to install some other OS or distro on it,
are here:

I built a stripped-down install of Slackware Linux. The install includes (amongst other things):
Requirements:
Download:
| File | Slack Ver | CF Req'd | Readme | Packagelist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slackware-13.0-c1010-1.1.tar | 13.0 | 512MB+ | README | packagelist |
| Slackware-12.0-c1010-1.0.tar | 12.0 | 128MB+ | README |
Installation:
Download the archive and extract it. It contains the compressed distribution and a README file with instructions.
License:
It's free. Use it, modify it, give it away, or whatever.
Have fun!
