Good Tiny NAT Box Distro?

I'm looking for a small-footprint linux distro to run a few NAT/Firewall boxen with ADSL.

I know I could use redhat/slack/etc but I'm looking for something really KISS (ala the old LRP).

Anyone have some good suggestions? I intend to set these things up and forget 'em using old hardware. Ideally I could set the thing up and boot from CDROM/Floppy and forget them.

Thanks in advance.

pebble linux is made for wireless hotspots. it has both extra wirless drivers (usless to you) and advanced networking support (what you want)

its small as you asked (around 50 mb) so dont expect a GUI, and I imagine that the man pages are few and far between (if existant at all)

but I'd say this is close to what you want
