Sorry Charles and list,

I probably wasn't very clear with my original post, or I might just
be confused. ...again. :-)

Is dachstein-rc1 the floppy release candidate intended for personal
and small business use?  The dachstein-rc1-1680.bin image[1] doesn't
include the ip_masq_* modules, like the ftp, h323, quake and portfw,
even though pr4 did.

I can understand why those might not be on the CD version if it's
basically a packaged version of Charles firewalls, but it seems like
a lot of home users might want those modules on the floppy version.
(What, no Quake?! :-)

That said, Dachstein seems to be coming along very nicely.  I think
I speak for the whole list when I say great job and thank you, Charles.
