That looks OK. So long as the partition the vmlinuz and initrd files for PCLOS are on is mounted when you execute 'lilo -v', then it should work. Lilo looks at the mounted partition and calculates the cylinder address on the hard drive and then writes that value into the MBR > > To finish up for now here are the open entries for my > /etc/shorewall/interfaces > > net ppp+ detect > loc eth0 detect > Here is your problem!!! You have the internet as being defined as via ppp (Dial up or ADSL using pppoe or pppoa), and eth0 is defined as your local network. With this configuration shorewall is going to not allow any traffic onto the internet. Edit this file to be :- net eth0 detect (You do not need a 'loc' entry because you only have one interface on this computer) To avoid getting error messages when you start shorewall about zone 'loc' being missing edit /etc/shorewall/policy and /etc/shorewall/rules and comment out any line that mentions 'loc' Then restart shorewall. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
