Installing IPCop will partition and format the hard drive as part of the
installation process. It is intended to be a standalone firewall (and
works great at it).
The only way you might install IPCop in conjunction with an existing
Linux install is to use a virtual machine for the IPCop install. (Well,
I'm sure there are other ways, but this is simplest I can think of)
If you want to build a firewall on your existing system, then you should
look at Firestarter (http://www.fs-security.com/) and iptables
(http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/index.html). The learning
curve for iptables is a little steeper than IPCop, but it is the work
horse that just about all Linux firewall systems are built on.
Firestarter gives you a nice graphical tool to build the iptables rules.
Hope that helps.

I would like to add IPCcp as a firewall. Does IPCop have to be installed to
it's own computer? Can I install it to the same computer (that I'm running
Linux on) to another hard drive?
Thanks
