I have 8 GB SD card and if needed I can mount USB drive as well. And is it necessary to compile squid from source rather then installing by apt-get ? Also I searched on squid delay pools but did'nt get any exact method to limit quota ,rest all are to limit bandwidth speed . will try it practically once i receive my Wifi Adapter. Also I would like to ask, Is it easily achievable to do with Capative Portal like fruitywifi or wifidog ? -- *Rahul.R.Mahale.*
