Yeah, I've got Mandrake 5.3, as well as 6.0, 6.1, plus redhat 5.2 and
6.0 ;-) I'll try Mandrake 5.3, but I was wanting to use a 2.2 kerenl
so I could still use ipchains. Also, does LRP include squid? I think
the 8mb problem comes from the fact that I can only do a network
install. I've also got two other people who want me to build systems
like this (including my boss), so I have to get this working ;-)
