Thanx a lot Alan
Below is the part I did not know how to do!
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.masq ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.masq; fi
chmod 700 /sbin/ipchains
chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/rc.masq
I also wanted to ask if there was a way after install to get rid of the GUI. I
installed a server version and the GUI for it unfortunately "Sucks"! I just wanted to
run
either console or Blackbox. (Which is no longer included in the latest version of
mandrake for some unknown reason)

Mike
