I think the raspberry pi disk image that is available is 2= GB, so it's probably easiest if you have at least that.

While I haven't set one up like this myself, I'm tempted to = do so.
I expect the Pi would make a very nice little auth/dhcp/etc
server.=C2=A0 However, to my knowledge, there aren't any NAT
implementations available on Plan 9.=C2=A0 I know it's been worked
on by several people at different times, but I don't think anyone
has a currently packaged implementation.

The databases used for these functions are pretty small, so
I'd be surprised if you filled a 1G card.
