Freeman,
BlackBox is available from the Mandrake site...you can find LOTS of GUIs
there thru the link to the rufus site:
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/contrib/libc6/i386/
Also, I would think that you're like me and like to save a little time where
possible if I know the results are the same...Use the pmfirewall script
software...Very clean, configurable after it runs. Simple. Text interface.
Best of luck to you!
Steve Weltman (in the US again!)

I just wanted to run
