Hi, Richard:
Thanks for those tips. :-)
Those two defines: CONFIG_MODVERSIONS & CONFIG_FILTER were not in
my *HOWTO* and may be new to kernel 2.2.x. :-|
http://gelm.org/linuxcfg.doc
is my HOWTO-IPMASQ for kernel 2.0.34 to 2.0.39.
2.0.3x is the only kernel that I have used successfully.
I've tried several Red Hat distros, one Debian and one Mandrake.
I get better results from a Slackware install, but probably
because I've done it so many times. :-| ;-)
How do you other 'newbies' feel about the 'make config'?
I'm baffled by well over 50% of the defines, even after
reading the text generated by answering '?' ! :-|
