Fedora Core 2 as CD-ROM bootable Firewall - is it possible?

[Daniel Paul]

Hello,

our company has currently 2 linux servers, equipped with Fedora Core 2.
Additionally we have a very old firewall, which will be replaced by a new
one. Now I would like to have it running under Fedora Core 2 too, but also
would like to boot it from CD-ROM for security reasons. Needed
applications would be Squid webcache and (of course) iptables netfilter.

Is it possible to run Fedora in such a configuration?

If yes, what are the needed software to create the cd-rom image and which
steps do I have to take (for example on one of our existing servers)

Any help would be appreciated,

Bye
