Is a bridge firewall possible with an oldworld?!?
I'm trying to set up my oldworld power mac (7500 with a 603 CPU) up as
a bridge firewall. Someone please stop me if it can't be done...
Currently I'm running my own custom 2.4.18 kernel, but on
bridge.sourceforge.net I read that I need to apply the patch
bridge-nf-0.0.7-against-2.4.19.diff.
I'm very new to Debian (and Linux for that matter), and therefore
utterly confused what to do next. Installing the 2.4.28 source,
compiling, and booting it went well enough just following the pointers
in the "Debian Installation Guide". But now:
1) Do I need the 2.4.19 source to apply the patch, or would the patch
work on 2.4.18?
2) If I need the 2.4.19 source "how"/"where" do I get it. Running
dselect, as I could for the 2.4.18 source, doesn't offer me anything
above 2.4.18 :( I use the ftp at ftp at de.debian.org
3) Can I still use kernel-package with a 2.4.19 kernel, as the Debian
Installation Guide suggests? Do I need to do anything special, or will
kernel-package just work with any kernel? (I'd do with by trail and
error but my box takes about 5 hours to compile the kernels.)
4) While I'm asking stupid questions: dselect only offers my the
brigde-utils 0.9.5, but the current version seems to be 0.9.6. Do I
need that, and if so, how do I get/install that package with/without
dselect?
Thanx
Christian
