Does this appear correct for getting the links right for lilo to point

My concern here is that the vmlunuz and initrd files on hdb5 are both
pointed to, so that lilo knows what is going on and that the referrences
are correct ( ie the links are pointing correctly )
When done within konsole I appear to be having no problems with the
making of the links. ( No red flashing names - good newbie feature that. )
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
This sounds good but I seem to be having a problem trying to ensure that
hdb5 is mounted and wondered if it is because hdb5 is reisfs and hda5 is
ext2fs. I get to see hda5 OK from hdb5, but am not seeing anything the
other way round. Then, I might be missing the right commands for doing
that within the ext2fs side anyway.
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.

Though I have made the recommended changes, I have also stopped
shorewall here in PCLOS and will also do so when I boot back into MDK10.
/etc/shorewall/interfaces within PCLOS is as you have recommended anyway and there are no
" loc " entries in the other PCLOS files either, though all MDK10 files had
such entries.
