I dunno if ipfwadm supports kernel 2.4, to be honest. However, if you're upgrading to 2.4, make sure you're at least on woody, or have the potato-2.4 support packages by A. Bunk (I think that's the guy :-) installed. You can drop the old .config file into the new kernel source directory, and run make oldconfig which will ask you any questions that it doesn't have answers for already. In fact, make-kpkg does that anyway. :-) Keep your old kernel around and configured in lilo, so you can boot back when the new 2.4 kernel doesn't work. :-) -- =========================================================== Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 4th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
