Re: IP Masq

Hi Ethan,

  Many thanks on the IP masquerading HOWTO. I'll download it
  and read it.

  I used to remember that debian has different way to compile
  the kernel.  Is there an HOWTO on Debian kernel compile/install.

  Secondly, I looked at all the packages that I've mirror on slink,
  I saw the base directory has only kernel-image-2.03[3-8]_2.3..
  My question is what is version 2.0 and 2.2 that you mentioned
  in your email(included).  What diff, and which to use.

  Lastly, what is in the ipmasg package?

  Thank you very much again!
