Never done it myself, but we did look into this when i worked for my
previous company... the issue would be with having enough storage space
on
the CF card. on a 64Mb card, there isn't going to be a lot of space
left,
after logfiles/base install/etc for a webproxy. Smoothie's default
cache
size is 50Mb, as iirc is IPCop's...

Alright in theory, as you could limit the cache size to the size of the
avaliable space on the CF card... BUT... it's not a 'hard limit' on
cache
size, it's only checked every 15 mins, and cleared if it's too big :/

Any other Q's, ask away or catch me on IRC,

Jon
