I can't help you with that. A patch that's working voor 2.4.17 could also be working for 2.4.18, but I don't know. At work I have a test setup and I'll try it there. > Correct me if I'm wrong doesn't the INSTALL file say you > Need a 2.4.4 kernel in order for it to work. > No, it says : PROBLEMS YOU MAY ENCOUNTER: 1) This package requires a 2.4.4 kernel, *or above*. > > cd /usr/src/iptables-1.2.6a > > make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux > > make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux > > Interesting you did this after compiling the kernel. > Hmm, I've thought about doing it before compiling the kernel, but the iptables compilation process might be using things from the kernel (you have to mention a KERNEL_DIR yourself or use the default one in Makefile). Mind you again ; I'm not a C programmer so I can't read all that and that means I might have it all wrong. Anyway, I thought it couldn't hurt to compile the kernel first ; it's patched already so that shouldn't be the problem. And I have a working setup :o) > bles-tutorial. > Heheh, yeah.

Besides, if 2.4.18 failes, maybe you could switch to ext3 which is also journalling ? (I don't know the cons and pros between the 2 so I'm not going to talk about that. Just wanted to mention it.) Good luck ! Rob
